Thanks Kevin for the heads up :)

My daughter ask me this weekend what I want for my upcoming birthday ... I told her about this book and just e-mailed her the link.

Looking forward of adding it to my coffee table, should make for good reading on rainy days :)

Hi Dieter,
it's also available from Canada's Chapters book store chain. See www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/search/?keywords=Mercedes%20W113%3A%20The%20Complete%20Story%20%28Crowood%20Autoclassics%29

From the Amazon preview, it starts in 1886, a rehash of history that's been told and documented ad infinitum in dozens upon dozens of Mercedes-Benz history books--many of which I have.
How much of this book is "new" and how much is recycled from other books about Mercedes that the publisher may have already printed? I don't know. If anyone gets the book a brief review would be interesting.
