This is another great book from Thomas A. McPherson.
The reviews on this book are completely misleading on how great the book is.
The info and photos in this book are some of the best,if not the best.
A few of the photos are small, But not many.
This is the Complete Illustrated History of Miller Meteor,key words being illustrated history.
This is what you get for your money,if you can't read than buy this as a picture book.
Thomas A. McPherson is the top author and 'Guru' on this subject.

Tom McPherson is the Most Respected Author and 'Guru' on hearse facts & books but, I was disappointed to find that in this book he failed to list "Miller Meteor By The Numbers". It lacks a listing of the model numbers and , most importantly, ALL of the production numbers from each year by model. As a hearse/ambulance history buff that's why I bought the book - assuming it would be like his others. I noted the other review here and I have to assume since M&M led the pack in sales for most of the years, that there were just TOO MANY photo's to publish FULL-SIZE and that's why some of the pix are too small. STILL, all in all, a Very Good Book - just a little bit disappointed.

What a disappointment! I expected lots of photographs, but the book is mostly text. The photos that are used are way too small for the most part...very, very disappointing, especially for such an expensive book. Plus, many of the pictures in this book are just artist's renderings from ads and brochures instead of actual photos. Again, very disappointing! The same goes for most of the captions; they contain lots of manufacturer's advertising rhetoric instead of actual descriptions from the author. Per par for all of McPherson's books, many of the warning devices (especially sirens) are misidentified.

Like "The Henney Motor Company - A Complete History," this book is better borrowed than bought.
