After 20 years, I'm retiring from the book sales business. I am selling off my stock in lots grouped by subject, so please do check the account in coming weeks and months for some really interesting, wonderfully-priced buys.
This is a railroad and model railroad lot. All but one of these publications are text-unmarked and range from very minor general used cover wear to a bit more than that, but all legible and largely clean.
This lot:
The History and Development of the Philadelphia Belt Line Railroad is a mimeographed copy of a copy of a typewritten manuscript by one G. Ken Foster of the Division Freight Office, Pennsylvania Railroad. He looks to have written this September 1933. I'm assuming this is the rarest of the lot, and if pressed to guess I'd assume this copy was run off c. 1970. Everything else was commercially mass produced.
"Westchester's Forgotten Railway: An Account of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway Company" by Roger Arcara 1985
"1973 Steam Passenger Service Directory Including Electric Line and Museums"
"The Story of American Railroads" by Stewart H. Holbrook 1947, dust jacket in library protective sleeve, ex-library copy with those markings, only book with some underlining
"Classic American Locomotives" by Charles McShane, modern reprint of 1909 publication
"The Collector's Book of Railroadiana" by Stanley Baker & Virginia Brainard Kunz 1976; dust jacket has some wear at top

One each December 1963 and March 1964 copies of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine in really very good condition

That's the lot. Any Qs please ask, and happy bidding.
