Coltrane in a Cadillac

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In "Coltrane in a cadillac", Robbie Coltrane indulges his passion for vintage American cars with a 4,000-mile journey-across the belly of America in a stunning black and white 1951 Cadillac coupe convertible. From the Aladdin's cave of Frank Corrente's "Cadillac Corner" in Los Angeles, where Robbie searches for his dream car, the trip takes in the polyester decadence of Las Vegas, the eerie Mormon capital Salt Lake City and frontier town Dodge City until Robbie reaches the world-famous Indianapolis 500 Speedway track where he plays out another car fantasy. On the way to New York Coltrane also pays tribute to American heroes such as James Dean and Huckleberry Finn and laments the tarnishing of the American Dream in places such as motor city Detroit and rundown East St Louis.
