Content does not really match title
Not as the cover indicates. For a Picture History of American Farm Tractor Dealerships it lack one very important thing: Pictures of Farm Dealerships. I was expecting some great pictures of large dealerships, mom and pop operations, rows of tractors and machinery, etc. I guess I was expecting that it would actually have those type of pictures predominately. Don't get me wrong, it has some nice pictures but pictures of Vintage Tractor Ads, Spark Plug Ads, Truck Ads, restored tractors in modern settings, and modern dealer establishments, but pictures of parts shelving and pallets of miscellaneous parts is not what the title says the book is about. Overall, it could have been a great book, but do to the authors missing the mark on the content based on the title I would not recommend it for anyone looking for Vintage Tractor dealer pictures. Because there are not very many. In the end, the text is equal in amount to the pictures. And the story seems like it rambles with histories of dealers instead of pictures. Also has large sections of text dedicated to replenishing supplies, etc. That is a simple one sentence paragraph as it is for dealers today - "Dealers order supplies and parts from distributors or manufacturers the ensure stock on hand". Instead of 20 odd pages of text there could have been more pictures.

Dealerships ? Well not really close though
Nice book full of info I was looking for, title is misleading or just a partial lie as its mostly equipment history nothing at all about the dealerships that sell them as implied, disappointed in that aspect otherwise great info on vintage equipment.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
