The guide further explains the R172's VIN, covers all options on the data card and continues with detailed explanations of the car's features and technical specifications.

Why is this book not available as hardcover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with some 120 photos and colored charts and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 50 (or the corresponding amount in or ), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option.
