Thumbs up Subaru Impreza Book by B. Long

Just picked up this book last Saturday up at Automobilia in Napa (right off Hwy 29), nice-quality hardcover book, 190+ pages on history of Subaru and mostly the development of the Impreza since 1992 as a sports-sedan and also a race car. Lots of color photos and reprints of JDM ads....lots of STi photos. Very informative and really interesting. This isn't a tuning book, but a history of the Impreza line. The last few pages are dedicated to the latest-restyle of the Impreza line and the US-spec STi. All in all, the book is well written and very appealing to any WRX-head.

ISBN # 1903706262
available from www.velocebooks.com

It wasn't AT Napa, it was IN Napa that he purchased it. But yeah, how much?

$49.95 @ Automobilia IN Napa. This is a great store for car freaks....they have many hard to find books and a ton of models....last time I was there I found a cool 1/24 scale WRC Impreza radio-control model for $29.95. I think they specialize in 1/43 scale die cast models....it seems they have a model of every race car ever made there. It is a dangerous place to be with a credit card.

Just off Highway 29, north of the intersection with Trancas Ave.
