Hear what some of the first readers
have to say about the book...

Your book came today. It is excellent! I cannot put it down. I will be passing on your book to others. I found things in it that I did not know of. Now I will have more things to look for. Thanks!

Got the book today and it is truly a beauty! I know that my family and I will spend many hours looking at this wonderful book. Thank you. ... The book is wonderful. It makes a great gift to some of my friends that love John Deere but can't get out like they used to ... it's a trip down memory lane. I have collected for 25 years and this is the best yet on John Deere!

Received the book today and scanned thru it for a few minutes - very nice! Thanks for autographing it! (Maybe someday it will be worth more with the author's signature inside!)

Got your new book and enjoyed it very much. I was impressed at the wide range of Deere collectibles and liked your inserts about the Velie items.

I received it last week and had already sent you a note telling you that it is tremendous... Anyway, it is great Brenda. You did a great job. All that I have shown love it. ... By the way, I did have a chance to sit and really look over your book recently and I think it is as comprehensive of a piece as you can get - very delightfully done. Hats off.

Got my books this week...haven't had time to read much of it yet but love what I've seen so far, bravo!

I received my autographed copy of your book today. I have to tell you that I think you did a great job on your book. I'm very proud that I was able to obtain a first printing of the book. This was a subject that needed to be addressed and was done properly.

Received book today. I think its great! You've done a remarkable job on it. It was well worth the wait. I am sure that it should be required reading for any one interested in Deere memorabilia.

Just received your book in the mail today. I have had time only to look at the pictures. It looks like you have done an excellent job. It looks great.

Received "The Book" this past weekend and I must say I am impressed! Don't take this wrong but it is MUCH better than I guess I expected. I have gone through the book and I am going back and reading all of it now. I am seeing JD items that I have never seen before and I can see you really did your homework. The quality of photography is first rate which is important for a book of this type. As I read on and complete the book I will let you know if I see anything questionable.
Would I change anything? Maybe the only thing would be the price guide area. The only good price guide is one that comes out every year and you can carry it in your pocket so a guide becomes obsolete quickly. Of course if you left it out someone would say "Where's the price guide?"
Thanks for the nice inscription! I love it!

We got your book today! My husband is thrilled. We've had it for about 10 minutes and he's already left the house with it to show it off. His first flip thru showed him some of his collection and some of what he doesn't have. He was most excited to see his stuffed deer in the book and the value.
