    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

  • Timeless in values, classic.

    Book teaches kids about obsolesence and kids can offer problem solving ideas among other lessons. Book steam shovel is resembled by Buddy L toy's steam shovel. Also at Ford's Greenfield Village is a nearly life size replica of Mike's steam shovel in playground for kids to play in/on.
