Book Reviews of Cool Cars, High Art: The Rise of Kustom Kulture
Book Review: Good book with less photos than you might expect
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this book, although I would like to see a lot more photos of cars in a book that focuses on the aesthetic qualities of custom cars. The author successfully argues that kustoms are an art form and then proceeds to analyze various styles of custom cars in relationship to various styles of high art. Good stuff! As for the photos, the most refreshing thing about them is that they are not the same dozen famous kustoms that you've already seen in every other book about custom cars.
