Duplicate pictures but interesting,

This review is from: Classic John Deere Tractors (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)
This is a great book for the price. The written history is fascinating, but there are holes if you are interested in post-1950 JD tractors. An annoying characteristic of the book is the duplication of photographs of the same tractor. Overall, I recommend it for tractor enthusiasts.

This review is from: Classic John Deere Tractors (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)
My special needs grandson, Liam, will be seven soon. In spite of not having any background in farming, he has become enthralled with John Deere things. He got a ride-around tractor last year and works diligently around the neighborhood, helping neighbors with the "trailer" behind his tractor. It is a joy to see. He will LOVE looking at all these pictures, even though the text is way above him. He wouldn't care!
