About This Item
Santa Fe, New Mexico: John Muir Publications, (1977). 224pp. Approximately 10 7/8" x 8 1/2." Illustrated card wrappers. Moderate handling wear to outer wraps, notably scuff to front, lower-center. Contents clean, binding sound. About good-plus.
The scarce first Spanish-language edition of John Muir's classic Volkswagen repair guide. Originally self-published in 1969 by Muir, an accomplished structural engineer who "dropped-out" of typical society, in the contemporary 1960's vernacular, to work on the Volkswagen Beetle models favored by hippies and counter-culture scenesters, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With illustrations by Peter Aschwanden, the book is a classic of the automotive genre, still in print (currently in its 19th revision).
This Spanish-language edition was originally published in 1977 in an unknown, though probably small run, and saw a second revision in 1980. It is scarce to encounter and its fragile production, coupled with its intended use as a hands-on guide, finds few survivors with WorldCat noting 12 holdings by [mostly public] American libraries and none in commerce (as of September 2023).
