This a Great book to add to a Peterbilt Collection, I was Hoping for More Cabover Coverage in the Cabovers section in the end, But There was no 362E mentioned(362 enhanced model) History is there, Just as in Rasmussens Book, There are a couple B/W pics from Ron Adams, and others that I have seen before, and a few I have not. Its basically a Book focusing on Custom Petes, Look at the Cover.I was disapointed the Famous Tnn Big Rig Custom old 362 was not there. And no 379 X pics sadly.only a mention. And not enough 389 shots, or legacy class edition 379(last 379) pics. But I tell you what, I still like the book despite its few shortcomings.I would recommend it to True Peterbilt Fans like myself.

Pretty good photos but major typos. Should have gone through Spell Check before publishing. Should have also been edited to eliminate redundancies found in several areas. Had the author wanted more photos or content, he could have contacted dealer sales people, Peterbilt factory folks, even more Pete owners! Needs a major revision. Yes, I used to sell Petes and Kenworths as well. And drove truck for 22 years before that.
