Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Virginia City, Nevada: Virginia & Truckee Railroad, 1988. Appears seldom, if ever read. Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket. The full wrap-around jacket art by Pat Cunningham is completely different, and I think superior to what appears on the Interurban Press edition. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked - apparently seldom, if ever read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. 2006. Profusely illustrated with vintage railroad photographs. Bound in the original silver cloth, stamped in black. Complete with dust jacket. Oversize Hardcover. 8.75 wide by 11.25" tall. This large book may require SUBSTANTIAL extra postage for International shipments, but only the standard charge for priority or media mail. From the publisher: "Fascinating and well-written history of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad by two noted railroad authors. The authors trace the rise of Virginia City and the Comstock Lode, the subsequent construction of the V&T, the years of the richest little short line in the world, the years of declining revenue, the rise of the excursion trips, the coming of Beebe and Clegg, the struggle to preserve the line and the ultimate abandonment. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of rare black and white photos, drawings and illustrations from all eras. With rosters (locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, service and maintenance of way cars), maps, timetables, list of films that used V&T equipment, scale drawings for modelers, and bibliography. Decorative end papers show aerial view of Virginia City. 260 pages with index." . Third printing. Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by Cunningham, Pat (jacket art). x, 260pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
