Good photos - not such a good title,

This review is from: Classic Steam Trains of the South (Hardcover)
The title 'Classic Steam Trains of the South' is something of a misnomer. It should, I think, be 'Classic Steam Trains of the Southern Railroad', as this is by far the major emphasis of its content. If any prospective purchaser is expecting a reasonable spectrum of steam operations across a number of well-known southern roads, as I was, then they will be disappointed. The bulk of photos focus on mainly Southern RR supplemented by a fair smattering of C&O. Very little attention is given to L&N, for example, ACL or SAL. Really quite a good volume for SRR enthusiasts, but not such a good buy if you expected some really good shots of steam operations of the other key railroads which serviced the region.
