Wonderful book by a knowlegable auther, good job! I also have two other funeral vehicle books. This newest book is a welcome addition to my collection. The only disappointing thing about the book is that besides the cover, it's in black and white, as are all my other books so I shouldn't be surprised. Damn! every other page describes the color of the car as "blue", or "gold", I'd love to see these in color. The text and photo quality of this book is outstanding. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in hearse. Black & White nostalgic feelng Excellent book on American Funeral vehicles. Some people might not like the fact that the pictures are in black and white but I like it because it gives the book a nostalgic feeling to it.. Very Interesting subject matter. This book offers very good text and great photographs on a very little known part of american automotive history. I highly recomend this book.
