Cars and Trucks Books

In some ways, Garber has succeeded in taking her earlier book to the next level with this latest effort. 500 color photos and 400 pages including text provide a spectacular banquet of some of America's finest working custom show trucks.

Yes, there are a few familiar trucks that can be found in her previous book, however each photo offers a fresh look.

Major brands such as Peterbilt, Freightliner International and Kenworth each get a huge chapter of their own, and it is this perhaps which will make this book so appealing to fans of these makes. Other brands including Mack, Marmon, Western Star and Stirling feature some great examples and offer plenty of interest.


The most puzzling chapter for me is the substantial Volvo expose. Almost all of the Volvos pictured are rather ordinary trucks, the type you would expect to see in brochures. This is in stark contrast to the titkle of the book and all of the other chapters. Great for Volvo fans I suppose..though I feel that Mack fans probably deserved a better deal.

The book's footprint is an unusual and not overly large size, yet thankfully, very few truck photos find themselves cut in half between pages. 99 out 100 for this!

Comparing this title to her earlier work, there is a lack of interior cab shots. Despite this, it would be dificult to find another current or recent pictorial show truck book that comes close to this one . Excellent value!!

The author gives a get description of the kinds of trucks on the road today. It has great pictures with a lot of action. The author also takes you on a few trips were you get to meet the people who drive the trucks of America. This book is for young and old. If you drive a truck or you just like to look at them this is a book for you. Once I started I could not put it down. It is great!

For a "used" book, I sure give it an A+. My husband enjoyed it greatly and my adult sons are now borrowing it back and forth. Super quality, quick shipping, great condition. Much appreciated!!

Saved me lots of headaches and money!

Great place to start for BMW enthusiasts!

This book teaches you all you need to know about RC Car racing. I recently got started in this wonderful hobby and now know more about it then I ever did! I would highly recommend this book to anyone just getting started in RC Racing.

I gave this book to my nephew this past weekend. He loved helping Bob by using the hammer, saw, tape measure, wrench and paint brush. He was having so much fun he just wouldn't put this book down! He kept saying, "I DO IT, I DO IT"!

Fans of British and London history in general and London transportation in particular will relish THE BUS WE LOVED: LONDON'S AFFAIR WITH THE ROUTEMASTER. The Routemaster is a shadow of its former self, today - but it's become no less revered the rarer it's become. It's a symbol to London, it's appeared in many a film about the city, and it here receives a history following its invention, evolution, and eventual fall in glory as a transit choice. This could be the story of any urban transit system - but will prove of particular interest to British residents and fans.

I think it's a shame no one has reviewed this great book so far, so here goes:
We borrowed this book from the library and my son couldn't have enough of it so I bought it on Amazon. He simply loves books and trucks and this is one of his favorites. I have to animate it a little for him as I read (like, we pretend we open the door and put the balloons in, he makes the truck go and so on...) and he wants us to read it over and over again. He needs my help to fit the truck puzzle piece on every page but since he believes he does it all by himself it thrills him to make the truck stop and go at each shop and at his house with all the goodies displayed (truck puzzle flips over on last page) in the end :)!

My family and I were at Lowe's the other night and my son spotted a copy of Can You Feel It? He was mesmerized so I bought it for him.

This is a glossy board book that features different textures: treads for tires, sand paper, soft grass, sticky soap bubbles, furry paint brush, etc. It's a simple story, so it's particularly good as a bedtime story for small children or for beginner readers. The added plus is the delightful sensory stimulation from the different materials.

My 3-1/2-year-old son just loves this books. He not only likes the overlays with the different vehicles getting more and more parts each time, he is able to follow the picture stories in the background and "read" them to me! Definitely a 5-star choice----Now if they'd just reprint it!!
