Default New(ish) book: "Britain's Historic Railway Buildings: An Oxford Gazetteer of Structures and Sites"

Hi all,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...421405-7985441

It covers the London Underground as well as the mainline railways.
(Presumably it also covers the Glasgow Underground, although I didn't check
that.)

The main drawbacks of the book are that all photos are in black and white,
and not every described structure is photographed. But this is an admirable
book which tries to complete its subject, and belongs on the bookshelf of
everyone who can afford the GBP 60 price.
