C. J. Hardman said The Best All-Around Coach Guide. Plachno offers a diverse range of makes and models from well known and not-so-well known companies, accompanied by quality black and white prints. If you'd like to get to know "Big Cars" better, here is an extensive guide to Intercity Buses used by large and small carrier companies throughout the U.S. While Plachno goes out of his way to be specific and provide a lot of information about the manufacture of each OTR coach, some of it is repetativemy only complaint, should not lessen the usefullness and uniqueness of this book. Roll On. Excellent Book about motorcoaches Buslady I just got this book and I'm totally impressed with it's detailed information. Any bus fan would love this book. TONS of details about GMs,Flxibles,MCI & others. Crown fans: it's gotta small Crown chapter that covers the company's history. Book is loaded with b/w pics, including some great ol rare shots like prototypes and rare buses like the Flxie Starliner. Well worth it, go for it bus fans!
