Hi Jeremy I think it's a good book with good pics. It was strange to see truck cranes used with wrecking balls as opposed to crawler cranes normally used in the UK Tim

I've just read the Alexander Botts books (fictitious) about a Caterpillar tractor salesman in the 1920's / 30's the're a good read. I think they came from Nynehead (was a Christmas present).

Welcome Filip I have the first book that you have mentioned here and I don't think there was ever a volume 2, it is an excellent book.

Ok, I have purchased The Amazing History of Excavators about 6-7 years ago! It's a very very interesting book and today I think it is rare.
I would these informations because the books of earthmovers are rare in Italy and probably are more common on England...

If you enjoy the Maurice Sanders books you will probably like A Woodman's Tale by John Cooper (Cambrian Printers Ltd., Aberystwyth, SY23 3TN.
A very entertaining collection of one page stories told by a man with a lifetime in tree surgery, timber felling and hauling and stump blasting. Lots of good photos and pen and ink drawings illustrating the exploits and misfortunes of the author and others that he has known

This combines two threads really, obviously it's a book but it involves an interest of mine outside of working with spanners. Adrian is captain of the rugby league team i support, the Warrington Wolves. To say he has packed a lot into his 35 tears so far is a bit of an understatement. I was a latecomer to rugby, prior to this i had no interest in sport to speak of. To watch these guys perform is jaw dropping, there is simply no comparison to football. Another thing that impressed me was the respect they have for the match officials. To see big hard men being called to the ref for a bollocking, taking it and playing on is a sight for sore eyes. Injuries ? don't get me started! Google Paul Wood, another of our players. In last years grand final, he suffered quite a painful injury and played on for a further 20 minutes. Adrian's book is truly inspirational.
