Synopsis

2004, oversize paperback edition, Hermes House / Anness, London, U.K. Printed in China. Mammoth, definitive, paperback volume, 256 pages. Printed on deluxe coated stock. Please note: The actual title is: THE ULTIMATE BOOK OF FIRE ENGINES & FIREFIGHTING. 700 archival and contemporary photos, many previously unpublished. This fascinating title includes a photographic history, with drawings, from Roman times to the present day. The fire engine itself begins as a simple manual pump to a high-profile vehicle, most sophisticated indeed. Includes an A-Z of 165 fire engine manufacturers. Each entry has a company history and archival images of the engines manufactured. To add to this mind-blower of a book, chassis manufacturers, coach-builders, and special appliance makers are all included. Rather an amazing book, which fans will definitely treasure.
