Hello All

A few weeks ago someone mentioned a new LU book available at the LT museum
priced at £9.99.

Can anyone refresh me about it's title ?


Was it 'The Spread of London's Underground' by Tim Demuth? It's only
£9.95, although that reflected it's slimness (it's the same size as
'Mr Beck's Underground Map', 'No Need to Ask', etc., but only has 32
pages). It basically presents the progressive openign of the various
lines through a Beck-style diagram on the odd page numbers, with the
evens having chronological text details and other maps/photos. It's a
nice book and works as a somewhat clearer ready-reference to what was
actually where and when than Rose's 'Diagramatic History'.

Coincidentally, it will go down in history as the last book I will
ever buy from the Ian Allen bookshop on Lower Marsh, due to the snotty
and offensive attitude of the staff....
