Customer Reviews

I really love Kenworth, The First 75 Years!

I can't put it down! I read it during my lunch, and when I come home from work. I am not a trucker, but have always thought about it. The text, and photos are just WONDERFUL! As a kid, my family drove from CA. to N.Y. many times, and over the years, I guess, I became partial to the Kenworth Truck. Anyways, THANKS very much to Documentary Books for producing such a wonderful, well researched, beautifully (!) photographed book.

A glossy history of Kenworth, thin on substance...

This book is a quick read, with lots of photos and large text. It's mildly enlightening for charting a history of trucking, the development of the West, and the chronology of Kenworth models. The book is seriously lacking in depth, and comes across as advertisement frequently. A perfect "driver's lounge" book for dealers, and, of course, for display in the Kenworth lobby.

Definite Page-Turner

It's a fascinating story that illustrates the actual development of the American West through the experiences of one manufacturer -- not your typical "corporate" history. A wide array of interesting photos compliments the very well-written text. Chapter 8 was particularly good.

Very good

I work for Kenworth and got my first look at the book. It has alot of pictures and facts about the Kenworth truck company and alot about the inventing of the Kenworth
