The Trains We Rode Volume I Alton New York Central

RAILROADS THE TRAINS WE RODE BY BEEBE & CLEGG VOLUME I 1965 DJ. My many current listings of railroad related books are starting to draw some attention and some sales, so how about a few more. Please find: The Trains We Rode Volume I Alton New York Central, by Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. This large hard cover book (8 ¾ x 11 ¼ inches, 465 pages) was published by Howell-North Books of Berkeley, California, dated 1965 and a First Edition with the same date on title and copyright pages. The book is bound in black cloth with ornate gilt titles on cover and spine and protected by a pictorial dust jacket. This book is handsomely illustrated, with a lovely color frontispiece and 801 illustrations, 6 in full color and 5 new paintings by Howard Fogg. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket shows a good deal of edge wear, particularly along the top edge where there is also a 2-inch tear on the back cover. Someone struck out the printed price on the flap and replaced it with ink. The hard covers are perhaps a bit dust-dulled but clean and with still bright gilt titles; the covers are canted slightly to the right. Inside, a former owner has left his name and date on the first blank page but as with many of the other railroad books I am currently listing, this is the only mark in the otherwise clean and bright interior pages. The leading edge of the pages has a lot of light brown spots probably from tobacco smoke exposure (but no residual odors of same). Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
