82. The Railway Magazine 1897-1996.
A bound run of volumes 1-142 in exceptionally good condition. Large octavo,
then 4to and large 4to. Contents are between 300 pages and 1200 pages per volume,
now totalling in excess of 100,000 pages of invaluable railway information.
With countless photo illus, maps and diagrams. Superb frontispiece colour plates
in the early volumes and increasing use of colour throughout in the more recent
volumes. Binding: the first five volumes are in the publisher's ornately decorated
medium green cloth. The succeeding 137 volumes are in dark red cloth - about
90 are in the official publisher's binding, the rest in closely matching Chew
Valley bindings. Condition of both the bindings and the contents is very good
to fine throughout.
This long and attractive set was assembled by the late Courtney Haydon,

and 1980s. Price: £4100
