David Dodge Books

This book is a real time saver when trying to locate parts or vendors. I have owned MOPARS for 15 years and I found many new distributors. It is organized well although it could use some dressing up. The appearance is the only thing keeping it from getting five stars but if you want parts, this is the place to go.

I have yet to find books on a miniature dollhouse topic that does not lift you up and carry you away into that world. You get so involved and grabbed by the various interesting items you can create and with people like Venus & Martin Dodge, your journey is ensured to be a pleasant one. I found 'The New Dolls' House Do-It-Yourself Book' an absolute treasure trove of new and exciting ideas. Thank you, Venus and Martin Dodge, for sharing your passion with others.

I paid $19.95 give or take plus shipping for this book a couple years ago. I was very disappointed with the book when I bought it, for the price that I bought it. I can't let someone pay $225 for this book.

This book is what I like to call a hopper pastime. Or in other words, its good enough to be taken with me when its time to mail a letter, and maybe it'll come in handy if we happen to run outta TP.

This book was originally $19.95 and worth every penny of that sum! Most of the information included is from previously published Military Vehicle Magazine. A purist would be hard pressed to take much from this, all of the information is contained the G-741 Tech manual. Sorry Dave!

David Ahl, one-time owner and publisher of Military Vehicles Magazine wrote this book It will be regarded as "The" book on the subject for years to come. Covering everything from the history and variations of the venerable Dodge M37 to restoration, modification, and maintenance of these trucks, this book is an excellent value for the money.
The foundation of Dodge M37 Restoration Guide is the compilation of various M37-related articles from the pages of Miltary Vehicles Magazine. But it doesn't end there. 19 pages reproduce several rare, U.S. Army M37 references, including a little-known Modification Work Order for reinforcing the tailgates of all M37 vehicles. In addition, the author has added 40 more pages comprising some of the best parts diagrams available from original Department of the Army Supply Manuals. These pages alone guarantee that this is a book that will get dirty in your garage. Thankfully, it is inexpensive enough to allow most to have a copy in the library as well as a garage copy.
Whether you own an M37, M42, M43, M37B1, or are considering the purchase of one, or simply love the brute-like characteristics of Dodge military trucks, this book will fill an important gap in your library. As with any specialty vehicle book, the print run on this book was probably on the small side, so don't put this one off until later. Buy it today!

If you buy this book with the idea that it will guide you in the restoration of your M37, save your money because it does not do that. There are a few useful suggestions but very few specific restoration tips. The book is worth its original issue price of $20 but not much more than that. It's an interesting read but not a how-to book.

This book gives a very nice overview of the M37. Includes history, production numbers, pictures etc. Many how-to type chapters. The book is at times a little short on detail, especially those little items that make a restoration complete. Not really a book written by an expert, but almost a journal of David Ahl's restoration of his own truck. Many of the chapters appear to be simple reprints of articles out of military vehicle magazine. Included are some general tips for those new to vehicle restoration. Importantly the book includes nearly 40 pages of exploded parts diagrams and a chart on lubrication order. These alone are probably worth the price of the book. Overall, a good book at a fair price.

If the 6th edition has the same LACK of clarity in its definitions as does the 5th edition, you're wasting your money. "The Cambridge Dictionary of Statistics" by B.S.Everitt is as marvelous as the Oxford version is awful. Compare for yourself: Pick a couple of stat terms and compare the definitions in "O" with those in "C." Note: I just bought the 3rd edition of "Cambridge," but it seems little different from the wonderful 2nd edition.

This is not a good tool book for the statistician. Since there are many wrong explainations of statistical terms. Furthermore, it is too wordy for a student to understand it. But I like the author includes many biographies of famous statisticians. Anyway! you can something better than this one.

This dictionary has been compiled by an international committee to serve the needs of professional statisticians and is a revision of the 5/e which was published by Longman in 1990. The changes consist of a couple hundred terms dropped and a couple hundred added, plus an extensive bibliography. Old entries appear unchanged. Coverage of recent terms is good and the bibliography points to more detailed descriptions. I'm unimpressed with the book for three reasons. First, there are no figures, which I find very helpful in other references. Second, the style of writing doesn't appear to be suited to either students or professionals. The definitions are generally too terse and jargony for students, yet rarely have equations and details, limiting their value to advenced users. Finally, the type is ugly. The 5/e looked much better.

This is more of a book for someone first starting out in the trade. Their are no surprizes here just basic electrical know how.
