Evolution of New York City Subways: An Illustrated History of New York City's Transit Cars, 1867-1997 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, so the NYC subway system means a great deal to me. I'm also a railfan, so my interests in the inner workings of the IND, BMT, and IRT run very deep as well. That's why I can say that Evolution of New York City Subways truly is a subway fan's delight. Gene Sansone has written an incredibly fact-filled, engaging chronicle of the rolling stock of the MTA and its predecessors, as only an insider can. The comprehensive text is accompanied by excellent interior and exterior photos, plus detailed diagrams and specifications. I predict that this book will soon become the reference standard on this subject. I sincerely urge all subway fans to get a copy immediately: they won't be able to put it down!

Truck Driver Tom Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 23 month old son loves this book! I am buying it after we ran out of renewals at the library. The really brilliant thing is that there is a page near the end which lists the various trucks and their names.

Tom drives a big rig. He gets an order and picks it up. As he drives across the country, past construction sites and on roads being repaired, he joins other vehicles, big and small. Wherever he goes—through towns and cities, on busy highways, over bridges and mountains—he sees all kinds of trucks that are also carrying important goods to people. In scenes both panoramic and detailed, Monica Wellington has painted over sixty different vehicles in her signature bright colors. In this addition to her nonfiction series for the very youngest about people and jobs, she invites readers—especially boys—for a ride on the open road.
