Great Photos and text at a very reasonable price

Most railroad or steam locomotive books are quite expensive and are only average in content and layout. Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotives has above-average content and excellent photographs. The book is done entirely with color photograps (except for historical photos). The photos are dramatic, candid and colorful. The captions and the text complement the photos and there are some great sidebar articles. This book is not a comprehensive review of narrow gauge power, but a very nice review of both contemporary narrow gauge operations and locomotives and some information on historical development. This not a highly technical book, but the content is certainly of better quality than many of the bargain priced books. It is very readable and as far as I can tell accurate. I buy a lot of rail-related books and given the quality of the photographs, the text and the overall design of the book, this a real value at the cover price.
