The two All American Wonder books go for around $38 a piece by themselves.

“Getting out of the WW2 hobby and have a collection of jeep books (most deal with WW2 jeeps) that I used to restore my 1945 Ford GPW jeep. If your already a jeep enthusiast, or contemplating perhaps getting into the hobby, this would be a great set of books for you.”

This is a brand new book I spotted on eBay. I’m sure it is available through other books sellers, too.  I haven’t read it, so I can’t say how many jeep stories there are in it.

“Retired General Jesse Allen saw it all in his military career. An army jeep driver in the U.S. Army Air Corps serving General Patton’s Third Army in World War II, an air force fighter pilot in Korea, and a fighter squadron commander in Vietnam, Allen held every rank from private to two-star general.A cultural history as well as a memoir, From Jeep Driver to General reveals an insider’s perspective of the U.S. military during some of its most significant triumphs and failures.”

For those readers, whose French is better than mine, is this 1952 book about a pair of French men, Daniel Barbey and Henri Boucher, who go to New York in 1947, purchase a brand new 1947 CJ-2A ,and take it on an adventure through the US, Central and South America.  The book was publish in 1950.  It would be a good reason to learn French.

The only copies I’ve run across are here:

Here’s an odd cover for a kid’s coloring book.  Those cats(?) look rather evil.

“You are bidding on a vintage Jeepers coloring book from the 1940s. Features a Willys Jeep on the front and back color. Some pages are colored. In good shape, considering. Would look cool framed! It’s a Jeep thing…”

African Wanderlust: Across Colonial Africa by Jeep

UPDATE:  I completed the book.  There are some good stories of jeeping and others having nothing to do with jeeps.  If you like adventure and travel, or African travel, or the challenges of border crossing, give this book a read.  One favorite anecdote Andy writes about was a boss of his who at one time was Willys Overland Salesman in Africa during the 1940s.  One of his sales strategies was roll them down a hill, tip them upright, and drive them away to demonstrate how hardy they were.

Andy’s website is here.  You can follow his travels via sailboat as well http://www.rson.ca/index.php

I was on Amazon yesterday ordering a book called  “Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper’s Memoir of Fighting Wildfire” (which has a fascinating story about how smoke jumpers used a willys wagon).  One thing led to another and I ran across a second book called “African Wanderlust: Across Colonial Africa by Jeep”.   Never having heard of that book, I ordered it and will report on it once I read it.
