The
Nerve Of Foley and other Railroad Stories, by Frank Spearman, Hardcover reprint edition 1996 by Paper Tiger, 235 pages, about 5 1/2 x
8. Brand new in the original shrinkwrap.
Originally published in the early 1900's, this quality
hardcover reprint of "The Nerve of Foley" is one of Frank Spearman's
most popular railroad fiction books. Set in the Western Rockies, this
book contains 10 short stories about the same characters. Spearman has
been called the "Dean of Railroad Fiction Writers". He actually interviewed the old railroaders to get the stories for his books.
Realistic, gritty,
and entertaining. If you are interested in railroad history, you will
enjoy reading this book over and over.
I'm selling these new hardcover copies cheaper than you would pay for a used paperback edition.
NOTE: There are some Print-on-Demand softcover editions available but they are only 152 pages!!
And other new reprints only have 78 PAGES!! Mine are the full 235 pages, same as the original.
