Små bilder, liten text.

Hade förväntat mig en av de större encyklopedierna, men tyvärr är denna enbart i A5-storlek. Historiken är annars ok, med ett hyfsat urval av maskiner i kronologisk ordning. Dock, som sagt: allt är ganska småttigt. Mitt tips är att i stället satsa på något av de större verken av Hugh Wilson.
