This small pocket-sized book
contains a photo and some information about 45 different
machines.
Each description lists the manufacturer, where the
machine is made and the class of machine. The
text varies in composition with some entries including
the company history, others what the type of machine is
used for, and varying amounts of specific information
about the machine in question. The photos are
reasonably good, although there is only one of each
machine and the border to each one is perhaps overlarge.
Although the title of the book suggests it is only
about diggers, in fact there are many different types of
machine, mostly with some connection to earthmoving or
roadworks.
It is a little difficult to know who the book is aimed
at. Certainly most enthusiasts would find it
superficial, and in this respect the wide spread of
machine types does not help. It does not really fit
the bill as a fully fledged 'spotter's guide', although
it would suit a younger reader or someone with little
knowledge wanting to know something about these types of
machines.
