The Last Days of British Steam Railways, by Colin Garratt
Published by Magna Books in 1994, 136 pages. Square(ish) Hardback with Dust Jacket, c.20.5cm by 22cm (RW3CHX1A7)
From the inside front fly leaf: 'In the autumnal days of working steam in the British Isles, in the late 1950s "and '60s, professional photographer Colin Garratt laid the foundations for what has become his life's work - the photographic record of steam railways worldwide. In this book, for the first time, Colin Garratt has collated some 150 of his previously unpublished pictures showing steam locomotives in Great Britain. These are not the few jealously tended and carefully maintained examples that have survived to the present day but working locomotives in their service liveries and original condition. Many different locomotive types are represented in dozens of locations throughout the country, as they were seen by a young man with a camera and a passion for trains.
Complemented by the author's personal, detailed and informative commentary on each picture, this book is a unique visual record of an era and will be welcomed by all railway enthusiasts. Colin Garratt's roots remain in Leicestershire although his work now takes him to the remote corners of the world where steam traction continues to operate. He is well known for his many previous books on railways and photography, and through his frequent lecture tours of the British Isles....
The condition of the book is generally very good. The dust jacket has some minor scuffs, and light nibbling and wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is intact, and all pages are intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
