Re: Gautam Sen launches "The Car Design" Book The Car Design book is a very informative entertaining book offering a lot to everyone.
I am basically a vintage and classic car guy, and it is very interesting to see such cars from a designers point of view, explaining the design, the philosophy, the thoughts and the features, either trend setting or unique. There are pictures of vintage and classic cars we know exist here in India.
Then there are many of these so called futuristic designs evolved in the 1970's when I was in the age of growing up with Matchbox toys by Leslie. Many of these conceptuallised cars did come out as models and toys to be played with and I still have some of them.
And then there are the latest designs, the Ferrari's, Lambos and the likes which enthrall todays younger generation.
The book covers the cars, the designers, and the styling houses in such great detail.
Finally, the design of the book itself is superb, sleek, suave, and keeping with the subject.
This should not be solely considered as a technical book, it gives so much information other than technical to interest those who are not deep into technical aspects.
This book is recommendable to any car enthusiast. I have my copy in my shelf.
Cheers harit
