Anyone now of a book detailing the history of combines and different styles? I'm a nut for older ones ( before 1990) but only being 29 years old have never really been around them. I have a brochure from JD celebrating the 50th anniversary of the cotton picker and it details all the models and advancements with plenty of pics. I would like to find the same thing for combines. Preferbly would include many brands. Does anyone know if a book exists and where I may find it?

I'd recommend "The Grain Harvesters" by Graeme Quick and Wesley Buchele. It covers harvesting from the ancient times up to the time of the book's publishing in 1968. You might try Amazon or E-bay for a copy.

Edit: I just checked Amazon, there's 28 copies available there.
