@alsancle do I recall a comment you made in the past on another forum about a Definitive Steam Book? Is there a “Steam Bible”, or comprehensive book that is a “must have”?

John, there are a few but start with this one. It is about Doble but covers Stanley, White and some of the other cars. It is two volumes but I found it to be an easy read.

that is the one. I remember the photo of the cover of it. Thanks.

This is also a very good book. Touches on Doble also. Don Hoke is currently writing a book on White.

@Royale835Sedan 100% agree with this. Easy read and lots and lots of period photos and documentation. Don spent hundreds of hours with the family and access to incredible information.
