My name is Carlton Jackson and I am the author of "Hounds of the Road," published in the early 80s by Popular Press of Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and Kendall/Hunt in Iowa. I have no idea whatever of why this book is being listed as authored by "Pat J.BGU." When the book was first published Kendall/Hunt listed it as R. Browne (who was at that time the director of Popular Press). I thought I had corrected the problem. The book deals with the Greyhound bus company, and I am presently writing a new introduction and a new final chapter for a revised edition of this book. It will be out in early January 2000l. For anyone out there wondering about this matter, I am Carlton Jackson of Western KY University, and I AM THE AUTHOR of Hounds of the Road. I will now take steps to get this matter cleared up. Cheers, Carlton Jackson

I was disappointed that there was no information accompanying the photographs in the book. There was nothing written about what year a bus model was, when and where a photo was taken, or who and/or what was in a photo.

A very detailed and intriguing History of Greyhound buses, especially in the early years; lacks a lot of the history, if any, of the later years.
I was not too interested in the articles concerning the promotional real dog and other celebs; distracted from the real history.
Well worth buying for the early history alone, and then there is the photographs; good.

Very interesting book about Greyhound great for any one in the bus industry or collector. Lots of interesting information.
