The 'Cool Wall Poster Book' is a delightful piece of memorabilia for fans of Top Gear, but it comes with some caveats. On the positive side, the poster selection is excellent, featuring iconic cars like the Aston Martin DB9, the Lamborghini Gallardo, and the infamous Reliant Robin. The print quality is superb, with vivid colors and sharp details that make each poster stand out. The inclusion of the show's trademark humor in the car descriptions adds a nostalgic touch that fans will appreciate. However, the book has a few drawbacks. Firstly, the posters are slightly smaller than expected, measuring around 11x14 inches, which may not be ideal for framing. Secondly, the paper, while glossy, is not as thick as premium poster stock, so they may crease easily. Additionally, some fans might be disappointed that not all iconic Cool Wall cars are included, such as the Porsche 911 GT3 or the Ferrari F40. Despite these issues, the book is a fun collectible and a great conversation starter. It's perfect for a casual fan looking to add some automotive flair to their space, but hardcore collectors might want to seek out larger, individual posters. Overall, it's a solid purchase for the price, offering a good balance of nostalgia and visual appeal.

The 'Cool Wall Poster Book' is a compilation of 20 pull-out posters from the Top Gear segment 'The Cool Wall.' Each poster features a car that was evaluated on the show, with its placement ranging from 'Sub Zero' to 'Seriously Uncool.' The book begins with a brief history of the Cool Wall, explaining how it started as a simple whiteboard and evolved into a beloved feature of the show. The posters are arranged in no particular order, but each one includes a photo of the car, its name, and a short blurb that captures the presenters' opinions. Among the cars featured are the Bugatti Veyron (Sub Zero), the Ferrari 458 Italia (Cool), the Porsche 911 (Cool), the Aston Martin DB9 (Cool), the Lamborghini Gallardo (Sub Zero), and the Reliant Robin (Seriously Uncool).
