I was actually disappointed by the book. What I remember when I entered years ago was the inspiring work that I saw in the contest booklet, a real inspiration to me. The books cover has a great shot, but so little photography in the book left me feeling teased and let down. Really too bad, especially for an illustrated history, as claimed on the cover..

This is an excellent book on the whole Fisher body craftsmans guild history ...especially interesting if there is a historical family link to same such as in my case....

Mr. Jacobus' love for the Fisher Body Craftsma's Guild comes through in this book. It is wonderfully detailed treatise on all aspects of that magical time in American history. From the inception of the idea through the last year of operation Mr. Jacobus details the who, what, why, and how of the 35 years of opertion. The last half of the book is dedicated to personal stories of guild alumni. I recommend the book to anyone with an interest in the American Automobile. There are plenty of beautiful photographs to augment the story. Of course there can never be enough photos of those great creations of the minds of American youth but John includes plenty to illustrate his story.
