Woah! I could barely handle the Winnerness eminating from this divine work when I first opened the page! 18 wheels of steel immediately assault your eyes with grandiose visions of beauty the likes of which have never before been conceived by mortal man. Get ready for some brake jammin', CB talkin', convoy rollin' action across America! This book should be required reading in all schools! But beware...although most of the book is suitable for all ages, you might want to shield your child's innocent eyes from the page depicting the ultimate traffic stopper...a police roadblock.

This colorful visual history of the American semi truck packs in photos of these trucks from the last 100 years, accompanying a written history which surveys all the major makes and models of the semi. A short history of the maker blends with images which provide excellent detail.

This book is just mind-blowing. Stan Holtzman really did a great job. With stunning graphics, smooth transitions from page to page, and the feeling of really winning. Even before you open the book, You're Winner. At every page, You're Winner. It really is revolutionary.

And everything in the book looks so real, like you can just rev up a Big Rig of your own to infinite speeds and drive straight through bridges and homes, and after a completely nonfunctioning race challenge you can take a stroll up a 90 degree cliff, and then cruise through the psychadelic reality-bending purgatorial void while going 999,999,999,999,999 km/h and then stop on a dime! Told you it was revolutionary.

You're Winner!

I have carried this book around with me for the past few years and some of the photographs seem to stick to me. The author covers the most well known american truck manufacturers, and some old ones. The binding quality of the book is terrible (but thats the sofcover book). If you are a truck photographer, enthusiast, or a trucker, you will enjoy this book tremendously.

".....Big Rigs is a fabulous photographic tribute to these venerable work-horses of the road---AMERICAN SEMI TRUCKS AND TRAILERS---FROM THE PAST 100 YEARS....."

Big Rigs: The Complete History of the American Semi Truck is Lord Stell's gift to the world. In another attempt to bring Rigism to the masses of NOT WINNERS, Stellar Stone has released this exceptional masterpiece of a book. With amazing photos and breathtaking descriptions of Big Rigs' masterful physics engine and endless gray void, this piece of literature captures the essence of the WINNER feeling perfectly. A must-buy for all WINNERs.

Ive had this book for a while and ive read it about 1000 times. its a very nice book but im kind of tired of it after a while because its my only truck book
