4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a fascinating book, even if you're not a train buff., September 5, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Venice Simplon Orient-Express: The World's Most Celebrated Train (Hardcover)
This a beautiful and lavishly illustrated book on the
world's most beautiful train, written by the wife of its
owner. The Orient Express has been revived and this book
documents its repair and all the work that went into the
restoration as well as the current operation. The book is
wonderful, even if you are not a train buff. I recommend it
to anyone who has read _Murder on the Orient Express_ for
the train has been restored to the way it was in the 20s, or
to anyone with an interest in the golden age of rail travel.

the way it ran in the '20's?, July 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Venice Simplon Orient-Express: The World's Most Celebrated Train (Hardcover)
The train stopped running in 1914 and didn't run again until the 30's... what is with this?
