Review:

Dump trucks. GIANT dump trucks. We're talking trucks that can WEIGH A MILLION POUNDS when fully loaded. With tires 12 feet tall. Big enough to crush those sniveling little ticks from the monster truck rallies without a twitch of the suspension.

This little book is packed with photographs of behemoths that would be at home tearing about madly in a science fiction movie set on Mars in the 39th century. Filled with the requisite photos of a diminutive female truck driver named Deb dwarfed by the tires. But this book on the world's biggest dump trucks seems to have the world's shortest index. Half a page. Half of the entries are under the heading "Giant Dump Trucks". But if you or someone you love loves giant dump trucks, you must have this book.
