RedCapBooks Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Hi, RedCapBooks have recently acquired a small collection of highly collectable railway books and memorabilia. Many of the books are long out of print and are quite scarce. We want to ensure that these items come into the hands of true lovers of railroads, so over the coming days we will be advertising them here, and on other railway-related sites. Thereafter, we will advertise the items more generally. So if you are interested in railway books and memorabilia please check in here over the next few days, when we will be displaying images of some of the books that we have available. To start with, however, we post a brief list of some of the more interesting books that we have available: Ernest Shepherd, The Dublin & South Eastern Railway, David & Charles Publishing, 1974. Hardback with dust jacket; dust jacket and book in very good condition - €25 (to include standard p&p within Ireland). Patrick Flanagan, The Cavan & Leitrim Railway, David & Charles Publishing, 1966.
