5.0 out of 5 stars Best resource out there, December 3, 2004

By	Unknown (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collectors Library Jeep (Collector's Library) (Paperback)

Is there a better guidebook for Jeep lovers? I don't think so. He's got every model, every option, every color and accessory and everything here, all the way back to the Willys and military days.
Be aware that there's a new version out there with a new cover...all the same info, plus MORE! Even if you already own the older version, pick up the new one. More photos, updated info, pricing, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a buyer's guide, not a picture book, December 7, 2001

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Jeep (Illustrated Buyer's Guide) (Paperback)

This is an excellent data book (Just like all the other vehicle "Buyers Guide" books) on a wide variety of Jeep vehicles with much detail data such as built numbers and option lists. It's more a "documentary" piece than a "color and story" book. Excellent for people hunting for Jeep facts on a wide variety of Jeeps and for people trying to decide what vintage Jeep to buy or restore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done!!!!, July 23, 2001

By	Jessica L Peterson (San Martin, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeep (Hardcover)

I found that this book was the best jeep book around. There were interesting pictures of unusual jeeps as well as your big time 4-wheelin fans and the family wagon. It starts with the beginning of jeep history and takes you all the way to presnt dimensions. It gives all the information you need except how to fix them. Great over all book.
