The new Big Rigs by trucking journalist Stan Holtzman contains chapters devoted to the histories of major Class 8 manufacturers. If the truck photos don’t blow your air horn, the reprints of old ads and brochures will. The book costs $29.95 and is available through www.voyageurpress.com or by calling (800) 888-9653.
