Signed by the author - first edition book - on California railroad Depots. The book has a few maps but is otherwise a descriptive picture book on railroad Depots from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Absolutely fascinating (and if I'm honest) a bit of a nostalgic trek down my childhood memories (I've seen some of these Depots in person). All photographs appear to be period photos. This is a modelers reference masterpiece! A historians delight!
At 250+ pages the number of Depots presented must approach 1,000! What a coffee table masterpiece! Clearly: This is either an evening down memory lane or an education on the types of Depots built in California. Truly inspiring! And.. knowledge you didn't know you needed to experience.
You'll feel connected to the California train culture having read this book; as will, those gathered aground the coffee table. wooo-wooo!!
