Great book! My father has been working with John Deere tractors his entire life and this book was perfect for him. There are a lot of great pictures that he had never seen before as well as stories. I would recommend this book to any fan of John Deere tractors.. Julie said Perfect gift. I bought this for my dad who has dementia - sometimes looking back on tractors and farming equipment he used is the only way to elicit a response. This book has been great for that - lots of wonderful old pictures, and some terrific copy and content too helps the farmer-wannabe in me know what's going on so I can converse! Very interesting!. "Lovely book!" according to J. Challender. We bought this as a gift, but sat reading it ourselves for a few hours before wrapping it up. It's a wonderful book, with a little extra historical zing of ads, comics, and movie posters from each tractor era, to help place it along the timeline. Very nice!
