Review:

Part of Veloce Publishing's Those Were The Days' series, The Dune Buggy Phenomenon: Book 2 is a cracking little hardback title that offers 96 pages and plenty of fantastic photographs and illustrations for its cover price. And it manages to get across the fun, frivolous and exciting side of the dune buggy concept just perfectly. --Review by Paul Guinness for Classic Car Mart, May 2006
