For a schoolboy and later skint apprentice they were often a doorway into a different world, be it "Light Railways of Britain", the Industrial Narrow Gauge album or the more exotic volumes such as the ones on european narrow gauge lines. Some of the more specialist titles are attracting quite high prices now.....part of me sees this as a good thing as it's a reflection of their worth, the other bit looks back to the days when you could get most of them pretty well anywhere........Simon Hargraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026455397775065689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138249804371907456.post-32496279218705984312012-06-16T13:08:03.626-07:002012-06-16T13:08:03.626-07:00Does your bookseller love the sound of breaking gl...Does your bookseller love the sound of breaking glass ;-)<br /><br />I'm a big fan of the BBs; the captions can be a little wayward at times, but for those like us who can draw our own ideas and conclusions from the piccies, they're brilliant 'source' material.Pennine MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882701741052676194noreply@blogger.com
