Andrew Morland
Legendary Farm Tractors: A Photographic History
by Voyageur Press (Hardcover)

"Legendary Farm Tractors" contains more color photographs of more types of farm tractors than any book on the market. More than 640 photographs of tractors from the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan-models from the 1880s to today-are presented along with detailed captions. The tractors are organized alphabetically by make so readers can find their favorites easily. Readers will find coverage of everything from the familiar makes such as John Deere, Ford, Farmall, Case, Caterpillar, and International Harvester to obscure tractors that have seldom-been-seen, such as the special streamlined Porsche coffee plantation tractor that looks more like a Porsche sports car than a John Deere. The extensive variety of material and the distinguished photographs by noted photographer Andrew Morland make this an exceptionally value-rich package that will appeal to tractor buffs and to those looking for a giftbook for an enthusiast.

It's Only Original Once: Unrestored Classic Cars
by Motorbooks (Hardcover)

Rare are the collector cars untouched by time or restorers--cars that still wear their original parts, paint, upholstery, and trim. Rare and immensely valuable. These are the survivors that collectors sometimes call "time capsule cars," automobiles that capture the period in which they were built. And these are the cars pictured and profiled in this book in all their original glory. Survivor cars are the highlights of collector-car auctions around the world, the stars of their class at prestigious concours such as Pebble Beach, Meadow Brook, and Amelia Island; and the automotive royalty at both Bloomington Gold and the Mopar Nats. It's Only Original Once chronicles the most important of these cars, from early models like a 1930 Oakland Roadster and a 1937 Packard to later favorites such as a 1971 Charger R/T and a 1972 GTO.
