This is yet another book that is excellent for anyone who has never seen large mining machinery and does not wish to be overwhelmed with technical information. The color pictures are great and give one an idea of how really big these trucks can be. However, much of the info is outdated as many of the trucks nowadays are much larger. In addition, not all of the manufactures out there are represented---where is Eulicid??!! Nevertheless, a very entertaining book!

this book is a delight to read - and look, 'cause there is loads of excellent color photography. Tells some about technology, manufacturers and operators. Best way to get started on the subject, but the pictures are even good enough for the initiated. Excellent value for money.

I read this good book, here in Brazil. This book has these great things:
1- This book has dozens of excellent color photography. In fact, more than 70% of this book are its photos. The photos are all of good or amazing quality and 100% with color. Five stars for the photos.
2- This book is very easy to understand.
3- The shape of this book is excellent.
4- The paper used in his book is excellent.
5- This book is well organized.
Even with these qualities, I have to give just four stars, because of the text of this book.
The problem is that there isn't enough text in this book. Not all the giant dump trucks brands are in this book. Only american made dump trucks are in this book. There isn't any sentence about dump trucks made in Japan, Russia, England or Germany in all this book. Being incomplete in text leave me to give four stars in this book.
