Definitive Guide

S2000 fans tend to know their cars better than most niche enthusiasts, but does anyone really know everything there is to know about a car? We tend to think not, and that's why books like Brian Long's The Book of the Honda S2000 exist. This definitive guide to Honda's famous roadster just arrived, and it seems like the perfect gift for that S2000-obsessed person in your life. Or, you know, yourself.

Proper Research

This isn't just some book patched together with various bits of information from someone's memory or internet research, either. In fact, Long - a recognized author and historian - researched and wrote the book in Japan, with the full cooperation of Honda.
