5 out of 5 stars Marion equipment   September 8, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book was full of helpful information and great photos of the equipment. The photos showed the full machine, from the end of the boom to the ground. The captions were explicit and informative, including such items as how many were constructed, boom length, bucket capacity, years of production, and weight. It's an easy read and a marvelously helpful reference. The photographs were in no particular order, but this turned out to be only a minor negative because of the index at the back of the book listing the model numbers and the page.
