Transport & Engineering Biography & Memoir Travel & Exploration
Danger Heavy Goods: Driving the Toughest, Most Dangerous Roads puts Robert Hutchinson in the cab of oversize rigs on some of the planet’s roughest routes. This 1987 first-edition hardcover, complete with its illustrated dust jacket, captures the grit, skill and sheer nerve demanded of long-haul drivers in the pre-GPS era.
Hutchinson’s vivid trucking memoir is a favourite among collectors of vintage transport literature and anyone who loves true-life adventure from the Australian outback to mountain switchbacks. The large-format pages, packed with photographs and first-hand stories, celebrate the culture of heavy haulage like few books before or since.
This copy is clean, tight and very well preserved; the jacket shows only light edge wear, pages are bright, and it comes from a smoke-free home. A solid shelf addition for fans of transportation history, road memoirs or 1980s nostalgia.
