About This Item
From front DJ flap: "This book attempts to chronicle informally the special series of steamer which, by its atmosphere and patina, seems so justly "The Georgian Locomotive.' It illustrates some of the most characteristic specimens - from Northern Virginia to West Texas. It will attempt to put the locomotive in the larger context of the taste of its time."
Book - Very Good- condition. There is very minimal edge/corner wear EXCEPT there are "dents" in the boards - mostly on top. There is a tiny spot on the front end paper. Text is clean. Binding is tight.
Dust Jacket - Very Good- condition. Light edge/corner wear around spine and corners. Light rubbing and bumping. There is a soft crease on the back bottom near the spine.
