Yes, this book is quite good! Note that John Carroll has two new jeep books
both published this year: this one and also 'Classic Jeeps'which is a larger
coffee-table sized book, but from a different publisher. 'Jeep' has an
extensive section on the MB/GPW/GPA whereas the other has a lot on recreational
jeeps and that odd USA-only(?) phenomenon, the rock-crawler jeep.
