You might need more than one winter to read this tome. I have had it for nine or ten years and have not yet read it all. As an encyclopedia there are few anicdotes, but it is so full of dates, details etc. that after a few hours your head explodes. So far I have found only one small error. In the section on the Sumpter Valley it says "the Sumpter Valley was more than a normal common carrier". I think Prof. Hilton meant to say "nominal" although "normal" fits about as well.
