5.0 out of 5 stars a must for all circus model builders, November 30, 2001

By	richard j schillhahn (Springfield, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

Being an over 30 year member of the Circus Model Builders and known for the circus truck models I have built, this book has a lot of picture history. I remember seeing the truck that is on the cover when I was a child and it brings back memories. I have never seen any of the photos in this book before and many of the over land trucks I have seen in person. This book is a must for all people interested in the circus or the many types of trucks circuses used.
