Transport & Engineering History
Big Trucks by Malcolm B Johnson is a 1984 hardcover that explores the history and engineering of Australian transport, making it a solid choice for readers interested in transportation, mechanical engineering, and Australian history. The book’s non‑fiction narrative blends biographical detail with technical insight, appealing to both young adults and adult enthusiasts of historical and hobbyist topics.
The condition is overall good with a tight binding, clean and tidy pages, and no writing, dog‑ears, or stuck leaves. The cover shows some scuffing and typical shelving wear, while the first three pages have light foxing that fades progressively. A rare page carries a minor mark, but the remaining interior is clear and well‑preserved.
Published by Savvas Publishing, this title fits within the antiquarian and collectible market, as well as the broader categories of biographies, true stories, and leisure transport literature. Its blend of historical narrative and technical detail makes it a valuable addition for collectors and readers alike.
