First of all, the illustrations in this book are simply fantastic.

Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $8.98

Customer Review:

I'm a fan of Theroux's work. I've read The Patagonian Express and Dark Star Safari. Ghost Train to the Eastern Star is also a compelling read. As with his other books, Theroux's eye for detail and characters, combined with his extensive research and book recommendations, make Ghost Train an... more info

The Art of Manipulating Fabric
from Chilton Book Company
Price: $18.77

Customer Review:

Firstly, it should be said that Wolff tackles fabric with an artist's approach, with a strong sculptural bent, with the intention of transforming a usually flat medium into something expressive, three-dimensional, voluminous, and with physical presence.
Also let me express shock and awe at the... more info

Freight Train (Scholastics Big Books)
from Scholastic

Customer Review:

I've read this book to my Kindergarten students and my toddler grandchildren. It is very popular with both. Although it could use more text, when read with expression (and train/speeding sounds, etc.), it can be a very exciting book that children will want read to them over and over. In addition, it... more info

Waiting on a Train: The Embattled Future of Passenger Rail Service--A Year Spent Riding across America
from Chelsea Green Publishing
Price: $11.34

Customer Review:

James McCommon's book "Waiting on a Train" is a well-researched book on the current affairs of our rail transportation system. It reads like a current affairs/history/travelogue in the beginning, but molts into a political statement somewhere near the middle of this book. In the end it's best... more info

from Bob Adams, Inc.
Price: $5.14

Customer Review:

I love to travel internationally and had looked forward to reading this book for a long time - but what a profound disappointment! There is a strong political filter that runs throughout the text that taints what could be a great reference for those of us with heavy-use passports. There are also... more info

Selling To VITO (The Very Important Top Officer)
from Adams Media
Price: $5.48

Customer Review:

This book talks about the importance of selling to the top, for the sake of selling to the top. It's full of gimicks and tricks to get you a meeting with the person on the top.
Sometimes a few gimicks and tricks are useful. But call it what it is.

Nothing Like It In the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $3.72

Customer Review:

I have spend a great amount of time, and I believe rightly so, in drawing out the lessons of the struggle against slavery as they were played out as the great task of the American Civil War of the mid-19th century. I have mentioned, generally in passing, that the other great task of that fight was... more info
