I just bought six books.
Four Morning Sun (Steel Railroads) at $60 each plus freight and Aust dollar exchange won't tell you the final cost you would be horrified.
Also bought South Buffalo Railroad (great story some good photos) really interesting, liked that book, and The Railroad Switching Terminal at Maybrook New York that wasn't what I thought it was but interesting for me learn a bit more about American railroads. I won't buy Digital books I hate them rather have the book in my hands so I can refer to it all the time straight off the bookshelf and I do that a lot being an Australian make that West Australian, I'd rather pay the extra I figure it's money well spent for me anyway for research, I read the print off the pages. If your modelling Railroads you are better off referring to the real thing not other person's modelling that way you might get it right yes look at ways other modellers do things by all means but you can't beat the prototype.
Like bushwalking (hiking) the golden rule, never follow another person's footprints they might be lost, use your map and compass and time and distance.
I get something out of every book I read.
Roo.
