A few comments from purchasers:

The most beautiful railway history book I have ever seen, by anyone, anywhere . . .

You and the author are to be congratulated. The design and layout is as ever, in your case, superlative.

After a quick glance. . . what a volume.

I have enjoyed you previous publications and this one looks to be star.

Now I realise just how much top class information and sheer hard work has gone into this. Expensive? Yes definitely, but it seems as if it’s like three or four books rolled into one, so it totally justifies the asking price...

OUT OF PRINT...
