DESCRIPTION:
1/2 Fabulous 1/2 So So This book really seems to be two very different books in one. For an automotive history buff like myself the first three chapters were excellent. Rich with information from the development of the Jeep, through it's mission in WWII, the years under WIllys and then K. ) for a nice coffee table book and he LOVED it Bought this for my boyfriend who has a disturbing obsession with Jeeps ( in a cute way ha! ) for a nice coffee table book and he LOVED it. Looks great on his coffee table and has excellent pictures and content. I think he read through it in a day!. Centavo said A Double-Thumbs Up!. I bought this book for my husband (who is a big Jeep fan!) for Father's Day, and he loves it. It has given him countless hours of fun investigating and exploring the history of his favorite vehicle.
