Micro Trucks: Tiny utility vehicles from around the world
route66chronicles.blogspot.com, October 2008US websiteVeloce Publishing publishes a wide array of interesting books such as the recent biography of Virgil Exner. However, as they are a British publishing house the books to a large degree target European interests.  As my knowledge of European automotive history is embarrassingly anemic I have come to really appreciate their books. From that perspective this title fills another gap in my education.  Additionally, as a truck kind of fellow, I tend to think of those mechanical workhorses from a truly American perspective. It was for that reason I found this delightful little volume so entertaining.  These little trucks are almost comical in nature. Still, the text is so well written and the photography is of such a professional quality I can honestly recommend this title for those interested in the obscure or the collector who needs to take a walk on the lighter side of the hobby. "A great Iittle book ..." –ClassicsMonthly-"... an attractive introduction to the tiny delivery trucks made 1948-'68 ... shows there's a whole new world beyond Heinkels and Isettas waiting to be explored." –Octane-"It is difficult to imagine anyone interested in small vehicles not finding room on the shelf for this book, and the bright colours and shiny paper wlll make it ideal as a Christmas gift anyone would be proud to give or receive." –Rum Car News"Full color photography, text and specifications describe previously little known Iso production micro trucks, as well as highlighting the changes necessary for converting the production Iso to a micro truck." – Restored Cars
