Alexander Botts Rides Again: More Mayhem on the Earthworm Tractor! - Softcover

No wonder CAT has their salesmen read this book. It's a funny caracature of what really happens in construction equipment sales. --Tractor and farming

Alexander Botts. Gumption? Yes. Arogance? Yes. Fun? Definately! Immortilized by the actor Joe Brown, the character of Alexander Botts has not only stood the test of time - he probably convinced the testers that buying an "Earthworm" tractor would make their lives easier and the testing more efficient! These short stories center on the adventures and antics of the worlds greatest (self proclaimed) salesman: Alexander Botts. Have a tractor? He'll tell you why you need to upgrade/replace it with an Earthworm model. Don't want a tractor? He'll show you 50 reasons why you really do need one, an Earthworm model of course! Following Botts as he charges headlong into one disaster after another is like watching a trainwreck in slowmotion. But somehow he always pulls it out in the end. I discovered Botts in a library's bargain bin over 20 years ago, and I've never passed up an opportunity to re-enter his version of reality. I cannot reccomend these stories enough, they only give you 5 stars and these stories need at least 6! --Tractor Heritage
