RAILROADS CB&Q COLOR GUIDE TO FREIGHT & PASSENGER EQUIPMENT M.J. SPOOR 1995 1^ST.  I wish I could tell you that I am nearing the finish of my stash of railroad-related books but alas, the fun goes on!  Digging into the piles, I recently found a series of Color Guides to Equipment which online seem to have some appeal for collectors.  Herewith the first of a few that I found and will be listing in the next day or so.  This one is titled: “CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment,” by Michael J. Spoor.  This large but somewhat slender hard cover book (8 ¾ x 11 ¼ inches, 128 pages) was published by Morning Sun Books, dated 1995 and the First Printing (so stated).  The book is bound in dark red boards with white decorations and titles on cover and spine and protected by a high gloss pictorial dust jacket.  Please see the photo of the Index for your further information.  It is, as the title demands, amply illustrated with full-color photos throughout.  This particular copy is still in the shrink wrap although I have another copy, in near fine condition, to be listed after this one sells, which has allowed me to take some photos.

Condition:  This book is in near fine condition.  Because of the shrink wrap, the book is untouched, unblemished and tight, sound and square.

Shipping:  This book will be very carefully packed, with bubble wrap and solid cardboard protection and promptly mailed upon payment.  Please note that I do not charge for packing and handling; all you pay is the postage and sometimes not all of that!  Postage to US addresses for this large-sized but somewhat slender hard cover book will be only $4.30 for media mail.  Combined shipping for multiple purchases is gladly offered.  You will pay full price for the shipping of the first book and half price for any others purchased that same week.  For example, two books with shipping at $4 each will ship for $6 combined.

The eBay site has become so popular that it is difficult to find your way back to a seller with an interesting array of listings.  Please consider “book-marking” my site so you can see a constantly changing inventory of other truly vintage books and/or collectible works, including many more railroad-related works.

Please also be aware that all my current listings are “spring & summer season” listings held here in New York State.  Once it starts getting cold again, perhaps in December, I will head south to winter quarters in Florida, ending these listings and reverting to another catalogue of different books held there.

Please don’t hesitate to send any questions; I will monitor closely and respond promptly.  Thanks, and enjoy.
