a book with photos. not really useful to me.

I gave this book one star for the literature content, and one star because the book itself was fun looking. There really is not a lot of things in this book. The book basically covered an array of topics but only mentioned most of them without going into detail. Overall I thought this was a pretty useless book.

As a coffee table book, it's okay. As an educational resource, also Okay. I was jonesing for anything about scooters and this still leaves me hungry for more. Listing celebrities that own Vespa scooters won't make me buy one, even though it's an interesting to see who has one. Regardless, I'd love to find the quintessential book on scooters.
