My wife got this tractor book from the Library, it was being discarded.

I asked her why this book had become a discard? She told me there are several reasons books get removed from circulation,age and condition of the book, and frequency it gets lent out.
Anyway, seems a shame to just toss a nice book away. If nothing else, our grandkids can look at it.
 
Bruce,

If I pay for transportation do you think your wife would come down here and visit us for a few days? My wife is a retired English teacher. She is an inveterate reader of any ink that is printed on any page. We have a few hundred books in our house that she has collected over the years and most of them haven't been cracked open for years. I need your wife's expertise to clean out a bunch of books that are cluttering our house.

Just saying.

You are absolutely right Ben, there have always been a few JD tractors that caught my attention over the years. The 44xx models in particular. Just seem like great tractors. My uncle in Saskatchewan used to run JD D and R model tractors. We just didnt see many of those around here. So its nice to have the opportunity to learn. Another discard book Genevieve brought home for me, is about the Dutch that immigrated to Canada post WW2. Fascinating stories about hope for a new life in a new land. What province in the Netherlands did your dad originate from?
 
My folks lived about 2 km apart near the village of Wijk bij Duurstede. Dad did custom threshing during the war, and my mom's dad had 5 daughters , sisters to my mom, so that was one of the first farms on my dad's custom list! They are from the province of Utrecht, near the city of Utrecht. There was no great amount of combat battle near them but immense suffering and hunger from the nearby city. I have a very rare wartime photo ....owning a camera was illegal.....of my grandmother feeding 20 plus kids from a huge 20 gallon pot of soup.
We are truly spoiled here.....

Our library has shelves of those all the time, they sell them for 50 cents each, some are nice books. I guess they could argue they aren't really tossing them if they are giving them away. Mind you, some of them will eventually get tossed.
 
How many people reading tractors care about the newest model ? You can walk into John Deere or fiat and get all the brochures for free you can carry

Heck you don't even need to waste gas to drive to the dealer or walk. All that information is right there on your phone any time of the day any day of the week.
 
Yes but its a lot more fun to have the real book . The older
brochures early 2000 back were almost like a little version of
the operators manual
 
That book is a complete history
Not thick enough to be much more than a picture book with captions.
At 20 years old it is missing about 20% of the complete history.
It is likely obsolete by a more recent addition.
Libraries don't have the room for each addition.
