I am pretty well versed in the history of VW memorabilia, but during my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this weekend, someone gifted me this. Copyright 1966, I will take some more page shots when I have some time, but it is in really good shape for the year. Full of jokes and cartoons of 50's/60's VW's. Interesting.

I would have said it was an attempt to ride the humor+mechanical lifestyle train founded by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but ZatAoMM was published 8 years later. Interesting.

ZAMM is humorous? Masterpiece of metaphysical philosophy with a few light parts is my take on it.

I haven't yet finished that book. Now I don't even know where did I put it.

Well, not a work of primary humor, but a vehicle lifestyle book with some lightness. More navel-gazing in the metaphysical sense than this VW book's apparent sort of That's Just So Us navel-gazing, that's for sure.

It does make sense that some of the first transgenre works involving vehicle lifestyles would be one step removed from Reader's Digest or elephant joke books, so...
