Saab Book – In Quest of A Company Soul : 1987

Posted on 23. Sep, 2007 by Ryan in 2000-2009

I have recently received as part of the Saab-Scania media kit, a book by Bertil Torekull titled In Quest of A Company Soul.

As I was adding this book to the permanent Saab book library, I did a quick scan on Amazon and other book outlets and could not find a duplicate copy for those interested in also adding this to their own personal collection. In the meantime, here is my favorite quote in the book, followed by the table of contents for your interest.
