Great book! Does s good job of covering all the different types of mammoth earth-moving equipment. The best book of it's kind I have read with the best photography of these machines when compared to similar books. The only thing I felt was maybe missing is the location of the mines where some of these machines are/were working, but perhaps that was left out for a reason.
Excellent

As a operator on one of the machines featured in the book I really enjoyed the book and the development and history of the machines in the book Some of the machines in the book are no longer in use so it is nice to be able to see pictures of them..

A very good history of the development of the large excavators used in the mining industry. Excellent photos and good background data for each of these historic machines. A must reference for anyone interested in large equipment or mining.

The son of a friend is crazy about construction equipment. I gave this book to him for Christmas 1998. He had everyone read some sections of the book to him that day. It's been his constant companion since then at overnight's to his grandparents.Although intended for a much different audience, this book can be a real hit with younger readers because of the great pictures.
This book sums it all up very nicely

It has loads, we're talking TONS, of great COLAR pictures. Also the MOTHER LOAD of info on all types of mining machines. Plus the detailed history of all the large machines and thier names.(this is for the striping shovles section)
