LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS' POCKET BOOK

Published by Locomotive Publishing Co. Ltd.. 40th.

Almost very good condition. 40th edition. Small format. Burgundy cloth boards, title to spine. B/w diagrams, graphs and tables. 356 pages plus advertisements (including endpapers).

Top & tail of spine rubbed. A few minor marks to boards. Two sets of names in ink to front pastedown (neat). Most of the advertisements are missing but no real evidence of removal so one wonders if it is a binding error.

Stock no. 1830113
