My Father Bill Jackson started a Wrecker club in 1970 and sent out club newsletters to the members starting in 1971. The early newsletters were called The Dial Holmes club news. This title changed to The Wreckers International Newsletters in 1976 when he took the dealerships of Wreckmaster, Vulcan, Century and Nomar.
These newsletters contained articles, short stories and photos about the wrecker industry in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, South Africa and the middle and far east.
My family and I have collected these newsletters and published them in a book in the large format of the originals. The first book is titled Bill Jacksons Wreckers International Newsletters 1976-1990. This 300 page book contains hundreds of interesting cameos of Wrecker History with photos and line drawings that all have Bills unique way of writing and ideas in them. Anyone who is interested in the Towing industry and its history will love this book.
