5.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive book on the subject,
By "benchmarkcolo" (Denver,, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Railroadiana : The Official Price Guide For the Year 2000 and Beyond (Paperback)
I expected a superior book because the Knous's background is so impressive on the subject of railroadiana. But I was surprised to find that it was not only a superior book but also a beautiful book as well. The pictures make identification of valuable objects much easier than with just text alone. And they make the book such a pleasure to browse through. Definitely destined to become the definitive book on the subject. I recommend it highly.
