[CBQ] Re: Waycar book

["Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris@earthlink.net>]

Arrived on West Coast this a.m.
First comment: Hype regarding packaging is not overstated.
Second comment: All I ever wanted was a substitute for Holbrook and Lorenz's 
modest little paperback (1978 OP).
Third comment: Do not drop this book on your foot.
Fourth comment: I do hope someone will write the major review for the trade 
press this book deserves. It's a landmark. I haven't started the text yet, but 
photos are superbly chosen, edited, and reproduced, and cover every aspect - 
human and technical - of waycars, waycar use and waycar life; also, the book 
has some just plain great railroading and landscape shots, which are not only 
interesting and worthy in their own right but do a great deal to make waycars 
come alive. And of course, comprehensive info, plans, diagrams, including on 
some pretty obscure classes (those great 4-wheelers that survived into the 
1930s); fine contributions from various list members. Well done!
Fifth comment: Don't do the MOW book. Nobody is going to live that long.
Sixth comment: Please don't drop this book on your foot.
