Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art
Our review:  Very well-done appreciation and biography of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, creator of the character Rat Fink and amazing custom creations like the Beatnik Bandit and the Druid Princess.  Well-written, lots of quality pics.  The talented Ed Roth was perhaps the greatest showman the American custom car scene has ever had, and author Pat Ganahl does a great job of laying out the story of a man who helped foster an entire subculture.
Price:  $27.97
