Customer Review: Comprehensive, insightful and a delight to read...

Mr. Bloemker's journalistic approach favors detail and context over mindless hype. It's refreshing to see Pedal Cars -- largely ignored by many antique buffs -- covered in such a comprehensive manner. Highlights include the pre-world World War II era, with excellent detail on American National, Garton, Steelcraft and other top manufacturers. AMF's 1960s era heyday is explored thoroughly as well. This book is a fine resource for the seasoned collector and beginner alike. There are excellent illustrations and photographs, with plenty of personal insights from some of the genere's most prominent collectors.
