The
Golden Age of Hollywood was at its height in the 1930s and the world’s best
tractor salesman was captivated by the glitz and glamour. In Botts Breaks
Hollywood, the third installment of the Alexander Botts and the Earthworm
Tractor series, the saga continues for our hero who, always ahead of his time,
sees filmmaking as the future of tractor sales. In this collection of
humorous short stories, Botts earns a promotion and is eager to share his
enthusiasm for crawler tractors on the silver screen where his outrageous
antics and blunders collide to capture the perfect shot!
Alexander Botts was created in
1927 by author William Hazlett Upson, and the stories are based on Upson’s work
as a factory assembler and sales demonstrator for the Caterpillar Tractor
Company. For almost half a century, Botts was beloved by The Saturday
Evening Post readers in more than 100 short stories. This book includes
the original illustrations that appeared with the stories and is part of a
series that will be the first to present the collection in its entirety.
