About This Item
London: Harold Starke. Good in Good dust jacket. 1963. First Edition. Hardcover. This reference book deals strictly with Britain and its legendary rail system, and if you're into details, you will find them here! The paper is a bit age-toned, and there is quite a bit of foxing on the endpapers and edges of the textblock, but not on the text. The binding is quite sound. there is a former owner's name on the front endpaper. The jacket is quite edgeworn, but a mylar Brodart jacket now protects it. .
