Lot of books on this subject, hardbacks often have too many photos/chapters on the Iconic/Surfer side of things. Fascinating part of Richard Copping's 63 page small format book covers it's history and evolution. Always assumed the van/camper/microbus was another Porsche jotting, but not so. The odd mix of the British Major Hirst, Dutch Businessman Ben Pon, and German Heinz Nordhoff gave birth to it. The book makes use of VW Archive images and original artwork, together with historic advert photo's. There's the exaggerated artwork of Bernd Reuters, and the clean pure photography of US Ad Agency DDB. Pleasant afternoon read which can be revisited, or breezy little holiday book for 'a bloke' age 25 to 65-ish. Under £4 delivered to armchair mechanics.
