Guys and Garages blows the doors wide open, taking readers into 50 unbelievable garages nationwide. Packed with engaging black-and-white photos, this gift book celebrates the personalities and passions of everyday men in their “sanctuaries,” where they tinker, invent, collect, fix a car, or simply escape, get dirty, and swap tall tales.
No room in the house feeds a guy’s fantasy more than his garage, and not just for the cars that might (or might not) be housed there. Some garages are workshops where dreams are launched (such as Apple Computer), some are filled with unusual collections (such as the one in Texas filled with more than 800 decorated toilet seats), or World War II equipment, or original musical instruments made from scrap metal—and some even house an actual car or two.
