If you notice my few distracters are the ones spouting the venom? I only supplied a book review, which gave counts of what one is to expect if they bought the book. What your beef, I recommended that one should buy it? I don’t like the kind of book reviews in most fan magazines that just give the content list and never any opinion of how well it was done in fear they might disfavor someone. One can only tell by the pattern of the publisher what to expect. I told it like it was. There is Not one map in the book to aid anyone to see where the tracks laid in the land.
I wonder about the full story why the valuation maps were not shared. He must have been a smart judge of people. The valuation maps are at the NA, College Park, MD and I know Gary was given a budget to go there to get them but it was not done. Also, the State Park office at Blain gives out a free map with a photo of Climax #265 (a photo which could have been use) of the public trails built on the grades of the Perry Lumber Co. and the Path Valley uncompleted RR grade. It could have been incorporated as part of the story.
Chester: When you copy a history written by Bill Gove from a copyrighted magazine called the Northern Logger and put it on the internet you are in violation of copyright law and you are stealing someone else work. My “threat” was informing you of that stupid action. I don’t think most of the readers of the discussion site would disagree.
A book review is a book review and the ones who get the book can compare the over 50 duplicated photos and see what they think of the quality, if that is what you don’t like about my review. Besides it is sold out so what is your big fuss? Vent on and see if I care.
