Fun book
If you are a Model T aficionado as I am this is a book you must have. If you are just mildly interested in T's, this is probably the book you should start with. Lindsay Brooke is the best.

Product Description
The story of Ford Motor Company’s Model T is the story that launched the American automobile industry--and America’s love affair with the car. When he introduced the Model T in 1908, even an eternal optimist like Henry Ford could not have predicted the far-reaching changes he was setting in motion. One hundred years later, this illustrated history looks back at the beloved Tin Lizzie. The book follows the Model T from design considerations (its ground clearance, for instance, had to allow for the abysmal state of U.S. roadways at the time) to its lasting legacy, and along the way describes the mechanical, manufacturing, and marketing innovations that the car’s production entailed.
Author Lindsay Brooke also relates the adventures and misadventures that were part of owning and driving a Model T. He chronicles the changes the car’s unprecedented popularity wrought in the auto industry (including Ford’s introduction of the “$5 day”), and he tracks the Model T through popular culture, from its role in early motorsports to its resurgent popularity in the 1950s and 60s as a platform for T-bucket hot rods. Illustrated throughout with period art and evocative photography, this book celebrates as never before the car that epitomized the American automobile.

A Good, General Model T History
This year makes the 100th anniversary of the Model "T" Ford, and consequently a lot of books about Henry's Flivver are appearing in the market place. This one is a good attempt, and there are many historical photos and newer color ones as well, but honestly the book "The Legendary Model T" by Tom Collins - despite also having some small errors - is a much better effort in my opinion, with more photos and accessed archives from The Henry Ford in Dearborn.

Ford Model T, The Car That Put The World on Wheels
Nicely done. Good research. Good historic photos. There is another book that just came out called The Legendary Model T Ford. I wouldn't spend the money on that book, you see, it is the 100th anniversary of the Model T.
