Ford Thunderbird

Reviews

So the book was exactly what I was looking for, however the delivery was disappointing. I had it shipped to another address since it was a gift. I did not choose gift wrapping since that was an unnecessary expense. However I did expect since it was sent to another person's name and address that my detailed invoice information would NOT be included in the package. My credit card was charged; I received an invoice via email, so including an invoice copy inside the book that was shipped was totally unexpected. I shouldn't HAVE to purchase gift wrapping in order to keep the price I paid a secret. Last time I'm ordering a gift from Amazon for sure.

The printing quality is equivalent to a photocopy and is inexcusable for the type of book and the price being charged. Much of the text references illustrations that are so muddy or dark that they can't be seen. The charts and diagrams are clear, but are taken from Ford Service and Parts documents, (as mentioned by other reviewers) so if you already have those, you can pass on this book. Not the author's fault, as there are interesting tidbits related to the various model years, but the publisher should be ashamed for putting out such a poor quality print job. Very disappointing and I would return it, but don't want to deal with the hassle. This is ONLY for those who really want everything related to T-birds.

There are some helpful diagrams but the pictures were of very poor quality and with other information available on the internet and from available shop and assembly manuals, save your money and pass this book up.

This book had been out-of-print. The new edition that is now available looks like it was copied from an original on a Xerox copier. This makes many of the photos of little value since they did not reproduce well. The book is still good to have but it would be worth looking for an old edition with good quality photos.

Book pays to much attention to the "top of the line" Models. Besides that its VERY good Stefan
