All-encompassing light on blind spot |

I really appreciate this all-encompassing book. It is not only a book on Saoutchik Père et Fils, their cars and their personal life, but also offers a concise history of France and Europe in which their lives and works of art can be situated. Saoutchik car bodies can be polarizing, while reading I got a better understanding of the designs and started appreciating the more extreme designs more and more. Some are appreciated without explanations like the Bucciali and Xenia II, other cars need explanations like a lot of the post-war models. This book deserves more than 500 copies and I hope it will get a French translation so French car afficionados can have an easier access to the lives and works of the great coachbuilders that they once hosted.
