Auto Legends: Classics of Style and Design

Rating:
Summary: Pale images.
Review: I bought the Auto Legends book because of very good references about the photographer Michael Zumbrunn. However, when I received the book, I was very disappointed. I have expected to see very nice publication with sharp and bright images of the unique cars. Instead, the photographs were pale and colorless. I am not sure, if the authors did that in purpose, trying to imitate old pastel-colored photography's from 40s, 50s. May be it is just bad prints?
The text by Robert Cumberford is very interesting and informative. The photographs of the cars are professional and impressive. However, this book is not at all comparable with the fantastic publications of Michael Furman's 2 books; Motorcars of the Classic Era and Automobiles of the Chrome Age, with extraordinary sharp and surrealistic photographs of the unique cars.
Printed and bounded in China, the book has waived pages and bad bound.
