This stylishly illustrated reference book probably contains every type of vehicle you've ever seen and lots that you haven't. There's everything from rockets, racing cars and planes to tanks, trucks and Roman chariots. Every picture is labelled with its name, and there's an index of all the names at the back of the book.
Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.
