Reviews of The Girls' Car Handbook

The Evening Standard, motoring editor David Williams

It's a guide to pretty much everything the novice female – or male, come to that – will ever need to know about motoring. Written in a clear, commonsense but very readable style it is crammed with useful information and really rather good.

Ian Collins, Talksport, 'The Car Guys' programme

Very informative and funny!

What Car? editor Steve Fowler

The Girls' Car Handbook is a handy book for blokes too!

Honest John, The Daily Telegraph

I thought it was very good!

Southern Daily Echo, motoring writer Alyson Marlow

The Girls' Car Handbook is easy to dip in and out of, depending on what you need to learn. With a stylish chicklit cover, it wouldn't look out of place being read by the pool – but instead of promising Mr Right, it offers a new route to female independence on the road!

Chester Standard, motoring editor Terry Davies

The Girls' Car Handbook is an absolute MUST for the glove compartment of a lady's car because it's crammed with everything they need to know about it. It's jolly good advice and money well spent!
