Good solid stuff, but nothing new...

The new book from Haynes makes an for interesting read, although nothing new has been presented on the history of the "E" that hasnt been mentioned in other publications. However, I was disappointed by the photographic reproduction, some of the images are quite dark. Given the choice I would choose "Original Jaguar E-Type" by Philip Porter its a detailed history of the "E" with better photography.

funny, strange, deeply true

Whether this account is for real or not is up to you to judge, but it is one of the best written books ive ever read. The book is funny, strange, whimsical and utterly astonishing. I raved about it when it came out, still rave about it now. Prechtel writes with astonishing evocative power of the absurdity and wonder of life. His adventures are wonderful. Especially good is the bit you do not expect - his meandering journey to Guatemala before he met his teacher, which will have you laughing at the complete fantastical impossibility of so many coincidences. And a truly heart-stopping description of a tapir in the jungle. There is not a hint of that self important over-reverent attitude to shamanism found in books like Castenadas. It is a glorious, compelling flight of colour, and though it may not change lives, it certainly brightens them up. This is a must read. Buy it and smile.

Fantastic

A fascinating insight into an alternative way of thinking and of our world.
