A good read.
By Christian Henrik Godlund
The same author has written the excellent VW Camper- The inside story. That book deals with specifications on the different campers, while this book are more about humans, culture and adventures.
This is a nice book, well written and good layout. I somehow think that it could have been more on travelling tips specific for the VW camper.
Nevertheless, a good buy!

By J. Hopkins
This is a good general history of the VW Campervan. Released in the UK as Campervan Crazy (which is a much more accurate title). I would have hoped to see more on VW expiditions and actual camping but alas much of the book (over 70%) was focused on the hippie van culture. And the book is from a decidedly British point of view. On the up side there are some great pictures and anyone who grew up camping in a combi will bring back fond memories reading this book. For some reason Amazon is not shipping this book at this time but it is availible from the publisher.
