Havi, I just checked my book library, I actually have a similar book, same author, but only covers 1948 to 1998, the one I have is nice book (has a 51 on the cover) worth the money to me. Actually has a couple trucks ive seen discussed on here (48-50) sleeper cab (bob jones knows the truck) that was some inspiration for my truck.
And yes, I can find my coffee table.. Well up until the point my daughter got mobile, now I have everything up on the highest bookshelf possible
Wondering if anyone else has seen this book and is it worth buying?
I have had it for several years. I am looking at it right now. It is one of the books I keep downstairs. It is OK, not great. It only has pages 42-51 for the 48-52 trucks and pages 52-59 for the 53-56 trucks. It has no color pictures inside. It does have some interesting reading.
I'm not saying coffee table books are bad - I have the Truck Shop and Parts manuals, the Tractor Operating and Maintenance manuals two years worth of Hemmings Clasic cars and 3 or 4 Hoochie mags on the table, sometimes they're even hard to find

Honestly - Those type of books are great the first time or two thru them, then they seem to get put off to the side, then into that hole in the atmosphere where socks go
Not saying you shouldn't get it, just realize you won't be curling up with it thru a whole winter.
Let's see your coffee table right now....... I have the 1917- version. Got it for Christmas last year. It's got some good pics, but if you really want to curl up and read for the winter, don't miss FTS05 by James Wagner. 416 pages and perhaps averaging 3 Ford factory photos per page. All the photos show the trucks at work.
