Reply to "Railroad Books are Going Up in Value. What’s up with this?"

When our house burned I lost most of my books which broke my heart. Not many RR books but were military history oriented. Over the years I have built up a large collection of RR books including ones on the PRR, B&LE, EBT, the Colorado narrow gauges, the logging and mining trains plus others. I look at train shows and antique shops mostly. Can't afford most new ones. I have bought a bunch of books put out by Wayne Cole that cover a lot of the old small local RRs of western Pa. and eastern Ohio. Plus he has covered the old street car lines of the area. We had two interurbans go through Butler Co. and I have read about them and tried to follow what is left of their ROWS. To me, books are priceless especially since I don't watch TV very much, if at all. I don't dwell on the price, they are to be enjoyed.
