Absolutely thrilling!,
By Frank Neubauer "suomen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 100 Years of Semi Trucks (Hardcover)
This book is the most comprehensive I read about North American trucks. I have lots of books about trucks but none is as thrilling as this one. A wealth of pictures and information - I doubt that there's another book which delivers such a complete history of 100 years of trucking in the U.S.The only flaw (if you want to find one) is that half the pictures are really too small. But this of course is to get more photos into the book. If all where as big as the other half, the book would probably have 600 pages (and the same time would be much more expensive). I think at the moment you can't get a better buy if you look for a really good summary of a century of trucking. |
