Author Biography

Peter M. Larsen
Born in 1954, Peter Larsen has been a chronic gearhead all his life. Those who were there have said that the first word he learned to utter was "Opel". Peter Larsen is a Fulbright scholar and holds a Ph.D. in English literature and semiotics from the University of Copenhagen and Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Read more about Peter M. Larsen


Ben Erickson
Born in 1975, Ben Erickson grew up in Minnesota, where he was doodling cars long before he could read and write. A special interest are American cars from the challenging years in the 1970s and 1980s when, as Ben says, 'they did the best with what they had'. ISO, all things Maserati, especially the Biturbos and other cars by Alejandro DeTomaso hold a special place in his heart, as do Volvos and SAABs. Read more about Ben Erickson

5 of 5 saoutchik May 25, 2015
Reviewer: Jerald Cooper from Napa, CA United States  
I purchased both the 3 volume slip-cased set and the addendum.  Both purchases arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner.  I am quite pleased with both.  I was particularly impressed with the way the books were packaged for shipping.  It is quite apparent Dalton Watson values their customers and takes pride in their publications.  I feel confident that anything I order from DW will meet my expectations.  That's the highest endorsement I could give any firm.  Thank you! - I'll be back!

5 of 5 j. Saoutchik maître carrossier addendum April 18, 2015
Reviewer: David Feakes from Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom  
When you thought that a book could get no better, with new information from the Discovery of the Baillon collection, and other sources, the addendum fills in the gaps from the original three volume masterpiece.
the addendum is produced to the same high print standard that we have come to accept from all of Dalton Watson publications.
highly recommended

5 of 5 Saoutchik books March 17, 2015
Reviewer: Lee Stohr from Staunton, VA United States  
This is simply one of the best automobile books ever created.  Not much more needs to be said.
Many Saoutchik body styles do not appeal to me personally.  But the book itself is a work of art.  Buy it if you love books and if you can afford it.
