We boxed up 150 #315 books yesterday,most to be mailed that day. The others will be sent after the author and key volunteers sign them (as requested) on Saturday.
Russ, I've gone through the first couple chapters of the book. George, in his typical manner, has covered every detail of the restoration as well as the whole history of the #315, It includes a great no. of photographs of the history, restoration and operation. It is a Bible for anyone comtemplating restoring a steam locomotive. Part 3 is the technology of steam locomotives beginning in the 17th century to now. Anyway, it is just an amazing book and you gotta have it!! Your daughter reads this discussion page, what a nice present that would be!!
No, it won't fit in your sock as it is 12"x 12" and weighs 8lbs. but the DVD AND the book would be the best presents ever!
