If a custom vehicle is something to see, a custom semi is something else--something much, much more. This brilliantly illustrated book celebrates the time, energy, patience, hard work, and skill that go into these monumental rolling works of art.
The author, who has spent a quarter of a century photographing and writing about semi trucks, takes readers behind the scenes in a semi customizing shop. There she surveys eye-popping examples of themes for custom construction and gives readers a rare close-up look at how the custom semi goes from inspiration to road-ready masterpiece. As interesting for its technical insights as it is for its fantastic photographs, her book is a fitting tribute to this pinnacle of automotive art.

This review is from: Ultra-Custom Semi Trucks (Gallery) (Paperback)
I actually have not seen this book yet, but have seen Bette's previous books, and they are all must-have's for the beauty truck fan, full of glossy photos of gorgeous rigs. Bette Garber is like the Annie Liebowitz of the customized truck world.
