The Caterpillar Century

Summary: Cat lover's bible
Review: This book is fascinating for all ages. Nice big pictures. I like how it focuses on the equipment. My young nephew who loves Bob the Builder stares wide-eyed at the pictures and makes sound effects. My dad loves the story of how the company went from the first tractor to the big haul trucks and mining equipment of today. Then there's me, who loves showing off the book on my coffee table. The cover is cool, too. You can't see it on the screen, but it has diamond plate equipment texture. Just don't drop it on anyone's head--it's huge.

Review: What a great book. I am an avid fan of machinery, especially Caterpillar Machines, and have not been able to put this one down since it was delivered. It is a large book, well presented and the quality is second to none. You will need a strong arm to carry it around though, but its place on the coffee table is assured.

It has a huge range of photo's and some cutaway drawings, the majority of which I have not seen in any other publication. I will have many happy hours of pleasure reading, and re-reading this book. Great work Eric, my money has been well spent, the wait was worth it, and I look forward to your next effort....
