Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

Wonderfully observed, often humorous and extremely well written, this captivating account evokes much of the atmosphere of the run-down railway in post-war Britain. Large format. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and trackplans. 185 pages. ISBN: 1905184204. Text block and page edges lightly browned. White pictorial dustwrapper is lightly browned and lightly edge-creased.
