"To begin with - I gave the book “Four Stars” because it did not address exactly what I wanted. However, it is a great little book, full of great photographs and nostalgia, and I am sure will be very helpful to many hobby mechanics. It is an entertaining read and covers a lot of the history of small-engines."
