John Allen book did I get a good deal

I won a very nice, I would say near mint MRR with J/A book for 35.00 on the bay. What do you think

I am reading it now. Nice book on "THE" railroad of the era. It is a bit amazing that the author, Linn Wescott, also passed away while the manuscript was being written.

$35 is probably pretty good. I've seen them go for $300 for the hardback.

I paid $185 at auction for my HB copy. Good snag.

Good buy

I still have my copy that my daughter gave me for my birthday from back in 1986. You got a good deal. The cover price back then was $23.95 so factor in inflation and it's a really good deal. Not to mention they have been out of print for years. I subscribe to the "Narrow Guage and Shortline Gazette" and they have been running parts of the book in the bi monthly publication.

book

I figured I got a good deal. If I remember correctly I saw a cover missing softback go for over 100.00 on the bay. I model modern day but I love looking at the GD railroad. The details and scratchbuilt items blows me away not to mention the size of the layout.
