Review:

“...this captivating treasure is a must-have heritage chronicle. Don’t be left-behind without this worthy addition to your Miata library! It’s the perfect coffee table book due to its unique cover!” - Andi & Chris Lambert, PMS.PassionRoad.com, Panhandle Miata Society “Miata 20 Years by Larry Edsall is packed with behind-the-scenes details and 232 color photos that read like a swift ride in our favorite roadster. Miata 20 Years is a must-read for anyone who has ever owned a version of the best-selling sports car in history.” - Ken Croswell, Roadster Review “Although this book is less than 200 pages in length I can assure you that the depth of the information is exceptional. If you are interested in learning a little more about the heritage of your Miata this is one book that I am sure will not disappoint you.” - Mike Freel, Heart of Iowa Miata Owners Group “If you are a serious Miata driver or just thinking about a new car I can recommend this book as a definitive source of all things Miata.” - Michael McDermott, Mardi Gras Miata Club

“Edsall’s pace seems ideal, making for a brisk romp through the history of the car. While not an in-depth technical tour-de-force, it’s a readable history of a car whose influence is largely overlooked.” – Larry Printz, Virginian Pilot

“Thankfully, automotive writer Larry Edsall, in his new book Miata 20 Years, provides that review in a concise, readable form, illustrated with lots of great pictures of Miatas in their many familiar and less familiar manifestations.” - Bill Potvin, NWOhio Miata Club
