It's not often that we see a truly definitive work produced dealing with horse drawn vehicles…. You can't afford to not have this book in your reference library, especially if you are involved with horse drawn vehicles. Writing it is a lifetime achievement; reading it is similarly worthwhile." The Driving Digest, January/February 2003

"I think this book will answer a lot of questions for the novice wheelwright as well as sharing new ideas for the professional. It covers everything from start to finish as well as a good resource listing. We get calls all the time from interested builders and now we have a book to recommend to them." Doug Hansen, Hansen Wheel and Wagon Shop, Letcher, SD December 2002
