Smokin’ Muscle Cars

It’s big on the cool factor, with lots of color photos of cool cars, and lots of data on different cars from different years, just the kind of thing my brother has always loved to read, and I’m sure it will be a hit with the boys.  It nearly got a “Recommended” rating, but for a gripe I had with the design of the layout:  there are all these yellow pages inserted into the body of the book, with “Smokin’ Facts.”  If the layout had been reconfigured, so that these fell between sections (or at least between paragraphs), it would’ve been better.  Falling as they do, often mid-sentence as the reader turns the page, the result is that they interrupt the readers’ flow, making for choppy reading (heck, a hyphenated word that starts on page 39 isn’t finished until page 43).
