Highly Informative and Interesting March 26, 2008
I found this book to be highly informative and interesting. The Checker company is yet another chapter in American history where effort, enterprise and fate converge. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about the history of the American experience.
Catch A Taxi...Catch This Book! January 10, 2007
Everything little bit of trivia you wanted to know about the taxis we all know to love or hate! Interesting inside information that may answer every question you have had regarding the many taxis you see running around the city. You will never look at another taxi the same way again!
