The Deal Maker: How William C. Durant Made General Motors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is another good book on my hero Mr. William C. Durant the creator of GM. Mr. Durant defiantly affected the early automobile history more than any other one man ever. He was the worlds largest cart maker back in Flint Mi. & went on to save Buick from certain bankruptcy. Also creating GM with Buick as the cornerstone car & then adding Olds, Cadillac & Oakland (the forerunner to Pontiac) & many others that didn't pan out. He also started Chevrolet with his famous Buick race car driver Louis Chevrolet. Some other good reads are The Dream Maker 1979 by Bernard Weisberger and Billy Durant by Lawrence Gustin 1973. ... Sincerely Lance Haynes President Durant Motors Automobile Club

(More customer reviews)Busted pottery is what will take man to Mars. "The Potter's Keeper: 25,000 Years of Pottery and Trade Told by the Characters That Lived It" uses pottery as a cornerstone of human history and evolution, linking everything together from how the most primitive pottery of the neanderthals lead to our high tech world where wires are a relic of the past. "The Potter's Keeper" is an intriguing read and is not to be missed.

Model T Ford: The Car That Changed the World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the culmination of years of research and corrects known mistakes in "From Here to Obscurity", the other major research book on Ts. (in spite of "Obscurity's" mistakes, it is still a good companion book to be perused with this one!). It is a "must have" for anyone working on their T and wondering, "Just what year is this part anyway?" The writing style makes for interesting and enjoyable reading. In fact, this book is so good you'll want two copies; one for in-the-house, and one for out-in-the-shop, where it's likely to get dirty and well-worn from use! -David Dewey
