Bulldog roots,

This review is from: Mack Trucks (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on the history of mack's this one is for you. If you like pictures of old trucks (and really old ones, 1920's-30's) you will like this. The book only covers the beginning to the 60's. Some of the pictures are really nice. If you are a semi truck fan, this book will still be likable. Of course, this book only showcases mack trucks, and sometimes, the photos become repeditive, because the author shows a lot of shots of one particular model.
