The suspence is too much, since I do not even have this book yet! I spent my monthly train book allotment on a mint copy of D.C. Buell's Basic Steam Locomotive Maintenance instead! Having previously had two copies, I needed to fill a gaping hole in my library! I also have an original copy of Alfred Bruce's The Steam Locomotive in America (1952). Both are excellent reference works for steam locomotive mechanical development in the US.
