Jim Allen has been a soldier, a sailor, an auto technician, an
off-road driving instructor, a farmer and a writer/photographer.
Some of those things all at once. For the past 24 years, he has
been writing for magazines and writing books. This will be book 12,
if you count second editions. Jim thought he knew a fair bit about
Scouts when he started this project but soon learned differently
and happily trudged up the Scout history learning curve.
John Glancy comes from an IH family dating back to the 1940s He
even has International Harvester listed on his birth certificate as
his father's employer. He has been an International Harvester Truck
Parts salesman, later owner of an IH Scout Light truck parts
business that was purchased from Navistar, producer and founder of
the IH Scout & Light Truck Nationals show and swap meet, has been
on the National board of directors of the International Harvester
Collectors Club and was its first Webmaster. John has worked with
Jim Allen in the past assisting with many magazine articles and
this will be his first book.
If you're an International Harvester fan, then we have one more
resource you shouldn't pass up: the International Scout
Encyclopedia by revered journalist and 4x4 historian Jim
Allen.--John Cappa "Four-Wheeler magazine"
The hardcover book is about as heavy and imposing as the trucks
themselves, with almost 400 pages of beautiful pictures and
interesting facts written mainly by Allen. Besides the history of
the vehicle itself and every iteration there's VIN decoding,
evidence of prototypes you've definitely never seen, and an
extremely comprehensive breakdown of every possible Scout variant
on Earth . . . Now get yourself a copy of this book.--Andrew P.
Collins "Jalopnik"
