The VW Camper Van has given joy to millions & is rightly celebrated in this small, high quality, hardback book marking its 60th anniversary. Now synonymous with surfing culture, the VW Camper has had a chequered history beginning with the post-war success of the VW Beetle. Starting with a historical look at the 'birth of a legend' the book shows examples of advertising campaigns, wacky paint jobs, VW Campers used for utility purposes, different types of camper & popular conversions such as the Dormobile. Nicknames that will be meaningful only to VW enthusiasts, such as ' Splittie', ' Bulli', ' Bread loaf' & ' Barn door', are affectionately mentioned in the informative text, which is interspersed with many, many photographs; in fact, a large one on every page. A gem to treasure, interesting for all, & particularly appealing for those who lived the dream!
