Militarfahrzeuge (Wheeled and Halftrack Vehicles) of the Wehrmacht
Ryton has done another great one. If there is one book to be had on the men and machines that supported the Panzertruppe, this is it, as the 320 quality photos depict men and machines in nearly every setting imaginable, plus seven pages of color artwork by the renowned military vehicle artist Uwe Feist. First volume in a detailed three-volume photo series on all the wheeled and tracked transports and armored fighting vehicles of the Wehrmacht, this first volume covers motorcycles, WW-Kubel and Schwimmwagen, Einheits-PKWs LKWs (trucks), Halftrack Zugmaschinen (heavy prime movers), SPWs, NSU-Kettenkrad, RSO, Panzerspahwagen (armored cars), and numerous types of wheeled and halftracked vehicles used by the Wehrmacht. This is a very important volume due to the previous lack of detailed coverage on these types of vehicles. As with other publications from Ryton, the photo quality will be outstanding due to the high quality paper used. Horizontally rectangular (8-3/4" x 11-3/4") hardbound, over 600 photos, 31 color plates..

Gus and Grandpa and the Two-Wheeled Bike
Gus is unimpressed when Ryan coolly stops his sleek five-speed bike with the hand brake. But he's totally nonplussed when Daddy buys him a bicycle like Ryan's. Gus will never give up his training wheels. Enter Grandpa, who wisely removes Gus from the neighborhood and curious eyes for practice, digs out Daddy's old bike for the occasion, and patiently holds that bike as Gus rides it around and around. Gus's ultimate triumph belongs to Grandpa as well, and will be shared enthusiastically by reluctant riders and their supportive families. Claudia Mills and Catherine Stock contribute a gem to the bike-riding genre. .

Wagons for the Santa Fe Trade: Wheeled Vehicles and Their Makers, 1822-1880
This profusely illustrated history explores Santa Fe Trade freight wagons and wagon makers. For a half-century until the railroad reached New Mexico in 1880, hundreds of freight wagons yearly hauled commercial goods over the Santa Fe Trail, the major traffic artery between Missouri and New Mexico. The author identifies wagon types and examines wagon makers and their factories, power sources, woodworking machinery, and construction processes. Individual chapters examine Pennsylvania and Missouri wagons, characteristics of freight wagons, the transition from shop to factory, and Dearborns, personal vehicles, and provision wagons. The author also devotes a chapter to the legendary wind wagon. Appendices offer first-person descriptions of merchant trains, rolling stock, and wagon factories..
