Perfect gift for a John Deere fan,
This review is from: John Deere Photographic History (Paperback)
This is to be a Father's Day gift for my stepfather, who loves history and anything John Deere. He already has lots of John Deere items, including a few ancient tractors. I thought he might enjoy reading the history and seeing photos of the really old machines. The book excerpts on Amazon don't really show much of what is in the book, but I took a chance and bought it. It is exactly what I hoped for: lots and lots of photos of old tractors and farms and farming machinery. I have no idea what some of that stuff is, but my stepfather was raised on a farm in Kansas and he will love it. I didn't read much of the text as I am not interested in tractors, etc., but it seems well written and informative. I'll be proud to give it to him.
