About this copy
This is a hardcover volume in the long-running Observer's Books series, with the pictorial cover incorporating a colour photograph of a Highland Railway locomotive at Kyle of Lochalsh. The copyright page carries a 1974 date and printer's code, with over 140 black and white illustrations noted on the title page. No explicit printing history statement is visible in the photographed pages, so the precise printing this copy represents cannot be confirmed with certainty.
The book has no dust jacket - it is bound in illustrated boards typical of this series, with no separate jacket ever issued for this format.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good - clean, bright cover with sharp corners and a tight spine. A small mark is visible on the front board (see photos). Text block and endpapers are clean with only light age toning.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
