Best resource out there

Is there a better guidebook for Jeep lovers? I don't think so. He's got every model, every option, every color and accessory and everything here, all the way back to the Willys and military days. Be aware that there's a new version out there with a new cover...all the same info, plus MORE! Even if you already own the older version, pick up the new one. More photos, updated info, pricing, etc.

It's a buyer's guide, not a picture book

This is an excellent data book (Just like all the other vehicle "Buyers Guide" books) on a wide variety of Jeep vehicles with much detail data such as built numbers and option lists. It's more a "documentary" piece than a "color and story" book. Excellent for people hunting for Jeep facts on a wide variety of Jeeps and for people trying to decide what vintage Jeep to buy or restore.

Excellent comprehensive history and pictures

I have about ten different Jeep books and this one is one of my very favorites. Nice layout, easy to read and good information combined with excellent pictures make this a perfect book for someone interested in the legacy of Jeep vehicles without getting too deep (and maybe boring) into detailed data. Recommended for the Jeep rookie.....

Well Done!!!!

I found that this book was the best jeep book around. There were interesting pictures of unusual jeeps as well as your big time 4-wheelin fans and the family wagon. It starts with the beginning of jeep history and takes you all the way to presnt dimensions. It gives all the information you need except how to fix them. Great over all book.

Great! Every question answered.

As a newcomer to the realm of JEEP ownership, I had always been intrigued by the product. I set out to find out as much as I could about JEEP, its history, qualities, faults, and its specs. This book, called a buyers guide(which it is), is also a very informative piece about the history of the JEEP automobile from its very beginnings through 1999.To mistake this book for just , an antique or collectors guide is very much off base. Although the book gives tips for the JEEP collector, it also satisfies the needs of those considering purchasing any model of JEEP automobile. I found it absolutely fascinating from start to finish, and I purchased a 1994 Grand Cherokee Limited based on the recommendations of this book. I've owned my JEEP for about four months and 4000 miles, and I'm perfectly happy with my purchase....and this book sealed the deal. Thank you, Jim Allen.
