    Would have given this five stars, but the one piece of Z history I was really looking for (1978 280Z – Black Pearl Limited Edition) was completely skipped over. Other than that – there is plenty of good reading!

    Very good overview of the “Z” from concept to current production. As the original owner of a 1971 Datsun 240Z, I especially enjoyed the detailed section on the factory program of buying early 240Z cars for restoration and resale throough dealerships during a lapse in “Z” production. Highly recommend this book to those who find the “Z” an object of automotive interest.

    All years and models covered well and includes factory and racing cars. The largest fan base is probably for Z-32s and they will find roughly 1/4 of the content focused on these years.

    Great book with lots of great pictures about the Z car and her history. Would be a excellent addition to any who love this car.
