The son of a friend is crazy about construction equipment. I gave this book to him for Christmas 1998. He had everyone read some sections of the book to him that day. It's been his constant companion since then at overnight's to his grandparents.

Although intended for a much different audience, this book can be a real hit with younger readers because of the great pictures.

A very good history of the development of the large excavators used in the mining industry. Excellent photos and good background data for each of these historic machines. A must reference for anyone interested in large equipment or mining.

As a operator on one of the machines featured in the book I really enjoyed the book and the development and history of the machines in the book Some of the machines in the book are no longer in use so it is nice to be able to see pictures of them..
