Beautiful illustrations and a great amount of information. Very enjoyable as long term Jeep owner and enthusiast.

In addition to the first reviewers comments; this book also omitted the optional Perkins diesel used in the 1960s in CJ-5s and CJ-6s. This engine was used domestically. The F-head is listed as standard in the 5/6, the V6 is listed as optional in the right years but no Perkins is listed. I can almost understand not including export engines, but it is sold as a standard catalog of the Jeeps that were built in Toledo as I understand it. Omitting options that are fairly well known among enthusiasts domestically and overseas keeps me from giving this book a better rating.
Haven't had time to look over everything else yet.
Good reference but definitely incomplete unless I've just missed some section somewhere, in which case I might give it four stars instead of three. But then the information isn't where it should have been included.

The book was good, but it did not cover all the jeeps :0(, I expected this to cover all the jeeps ever built, but it completely missed the 2.4 litre and 2.7 litre diesel CJ5's, CJ7's, & CJ8's that were built in Ohio for export.
I also felt that some jeeps did not get full coverage and some of the original sales brochures told you more about them.
A great piece of work, but should not be sold as covering every jeep ever built.
Finally a factual guide plus an excellent history November 27, 2003

This book combines a complete factual reference guide with a clear and fascinating historical narrative. The photos are excellent; many previously unpublished. Foster is the best Jeep writer out there.
