Well known fire apparatus historian Matt Lee is here at FDIC with an updated copy of his Seagrave history book. Seagrave is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year, so they had Matt update his Seagrave book and add 40 newe pages to bring it up to date. Matt is selling & signing copies at the Seagrave display in the Dome. If you didn't get the first edition, which is out of print, be sure to get the update!
Matt Lee was also selling his book today, 4/29 at the Great Lakes Chapter of SPAAMFAA swap meet in Jackson, Mich. He was having a very brisk business and sold almost 50 books in one hour. They cost $65.00 and are well worth the money. I am a contributor to several of his books with a lot of older Detroit rig photos and Seagrave delivery photos.
