"Nice review of Volkswagen camper conversions" according to John G. Thomas. Interesting review of the numerous types of Volkswagen campers over the years. A UK book, it is primarily focused on campers with a UK or European origin. However, some US versions are covered. Some of the backgrounds on the UK van converters which came in and out of business for various reasons is fascinating. If you're a Volks pop-topper like me you sort of have to read this book. One of the better ones out there.
