5 of 5 Reduced version of review posted on RREC Forum April 9, 2021
Reviewer: Colin Hughes from Hemel Hempstead, Herts United Kingdom  
The authors are both currently directors of the Society of Automotive Historians. Many in the book are from Richard Roberts' own collection, but well-known names of RR history sources are also credited.

A great book to dip into, it is divided into sections covering significant periods of the cars' or the company's development.  It omits the Derby Bentley. although there are several examples comparing RR with other makes' advertising. There are some superb coachbuilder and dealer advertisements.

Concentrating on facsimiles of the advertising, there is a good linking text running through the sections.

While familiar with a lot of the photographs in RR advertising, the early catalogues with colour reproductions of paintings and artists' impressions in motoring publications are a delight. Even the 'coloured' photographs  help one understand the development of 'modern' advertising in print.

A great present for Lockdown.
