 A handsome history in pictures May 6, 1999

I think this is an attractive and colorful introduction to a fascinating field. There are detailed photos of early models (both period photos and restored vehicles) and modern engines. All the major manufacturers are covered, some are shown working at the scene of fires, others are at the fire station cleaned, polished and ready. I liked the basic layout of the book, the sidebars didn't really bother me.
 Beautiful but confusing November 2, 1998

It is probably not the fault of the author, as he has done good research into the topic. The problem came with the "sidebars" that were scattered throughout the book. If they were put at the end of chapters, rather than in the middle of text, it would be much smoother reading.
