Pressestimmen
"A welcome addition to the growing literature on users of technology and the cultural history of the automobile."-Journal of American History "A well written, valuable contribution to the state of the art of mobility history, even as it opens up a whole new subfield. It is also a valuable addition to consumption studies within and without the history of technology."-American Historical Review
