'Shoppers...we're gonna get you for doing this to us' UBSC local 501* - By: Robin Benson, 09 Apr 2006 
Flick through this book & many of you might think Julian Montague needs to get a life, roaming round the North Eastern states snapping the death throes of shopping carts, indeed. The book is a bit of fun though & quite cleverly thought out, but maybe the joke wears a bit thin by page 176.
The five sections explain alll you'll need to know to about classifying carts, section two lists Class A: False Strays, Types 1-11 & section three Class B: True Strays, Types 1-22. Each type gets a page with a cool photo & details about what to look for. The longest section is four, titled Selected Specimens, with more than three hundred photos of battered & dead carts in the environment, I think the ones in snow look best & they are categorized according to either Class A or B. It won't surprise you to know that the author toiled for six years creating alll this.
The design & printing of the book is fine & the author takes a pretty good cart photo. The only thing missing, I thought, was some reference to their manufactures, there can't be too many & they most likely alll have unique features. This would certainly have added to the thrill of spotting a Class B, Type 11 (train damaged cart) made by A N Other Inc.
