Styled as The Ultimate Tribute to Ford, Fordson, Ferguson, & New Holland Tractors this big book is filled with exquisitely clear photos & copies of manuals, advertisements & brochures recreating the flavors of the decades as Robert Pripps' detailed narrative winds around the illustrations. Would be great to take with you for summer auctions...
