Review Quotes:
Storied Independent Automakers, by automotive historian and author Hyde is so well researched and engagingly written that the reader feels as though he or she just left a business meeting in 1922 and needs to do something about the production numbers (which are often supplied and placed in context). The numerous black-and-white photographs and many tables are always appropriate and appreciated. The Wayne State University Press production values are first-rate. A very important contribution to the growing body of works on automotive history.
