Critic Reviews
'The story is told by illustrating the various vehicles operated over the years. Many of the photos are from the Edwards family archives, adding a personal touch. It is a celebration of a well run family business which has evolved and flourished over a long period of time, and acts as a tribute the company in its centenary year.' -- PSV Circle, March 2025
'This book chronicles Edwards success over 100 years and with few stones left unturned, it can be recommended as a good and detailed read.' -- Bus Fayre, Spring 2025
