By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations (Hardcover)
Dow's Dictionary Of Railway Quotations is a gigantic compendium of quotations about railways from 1608 to the present day. Presenting more than 3,400 entries from over 1,300 writers and speakers and diverse British and American sources, from Acts of Parliament to poetry, songs, and journals, to obituaries, novels, histories, plays, films, radio broadcasts, private conversations, and much more, each selected quote vividly conveys a lasting impression that trains have had on human culture and the psyche, as well as basic economics and transportation. Organized according to subject, with an index for quick and easy lookup, Dow's Dictionary Of Railway Quotations is especially recommended for railroad buffs, and also for railroad-related publications, even railroad-themed personal blogs and online journals. My heart is warm with friends I make, / And better friends I'll not be knowing; / Yet there isn't a train that I wouldn't take, / No matter where it's going. -Edna St Vincent Millay, Travel, 1921.

Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations,
This review is from: Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations (Hardcover)
It's difficult to imagine the research involved in finding the thousands of items contained in this most entertaining book.
It fills a void in the railway literature that wasn't even known to exist. |
