Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Motor Book for Everybody The superiority of motoring over the old-fashioned railway and hack travel, together with the trifling increase (and occasional saving) in cost for actual ground covered, led to the inevitable deduction that the "only" way for the general public to see Europe is in hired motorcars. Indeed, the obvious advantage - often a necessity - of touring from centers, the cost and annoyance entailed by taking a car abroad, and the recently increased difficulties thrown in his way by foreign governments, may well incline even the owner of an automobile to the practice of hiring cars. This statement is borne out by the example of several motor tourists who, though wealthy, have preferred to leave their own cars at home. With these things in mind, almost the entire "Holland" has been devoted to the hired motorcar - to its cost in various countries, its innumerable advantages, its use in actual demonstration of its desirability. The rest of the book, written from the standpoint of travel in a private car, will occasionally form an inverse example illustrating certain advantages offered by the hired car. Since no emoluments are involved by the mention of maps, books and hotels, commendation and adverse criticism may be accepted at face value. Undertaken as a desultory avocation, this book was hurried to completion when the author realized its possible interest to the general public. He hopes, therefore, than any chance errors or anachronisms will be overlooked. The author takes pleasure in acknowledging his indebtedness to "Mater" for a number of excellent photographs, and to Mr. C. M. Owen for his water-color drawing of the frontispiece.
