Sterling Dump Truck by George J Zaffo
My wife has been cleaning house and she brought out a book that has been mine for as long as I can remember. I think I must have been five at the time it was given to me. The cover shows wear on the edges, the binding is gone, pages torn, and yes I scribbled on some of those pages. It was one of my favorite books way back when, and no wonder, because it was about trucks.
The book can still be found, though it is getting harder and more expensive to find a "good" copy. So, for the time being I have tried to "restore" the art of George J. Zaffo.
This post is dedicated to his memory, and for giving me and other truck lovers our fond memories of childhood past.
The pictures here, some restored, are all by George Zaffo.
