Revue de presse

'You'll learn of history, geography, industries long gone, railway routes diverging and converging, mileages, and much more ... the maps are beautifully printed on quality paper and provide a fascinating and informative adjunct to any of the routes covered. Better any day than spending a railway journey reading about the world's economic woes or the latest celebrity divorce.' --Heritage Railway Magazine
