| I heartily recommend the first of this superb new series of books. There are no definitive books about railway posters from the early day right up to the present day. There are poster books that cover the so-called ‘Golden Age’ from 1923-1947 and some excellent books about London Transport and Underground advertising, but the subject of railway posters of the 20th century has been sadly neglected.
Including lists of what was published and what therefore is available - now everyone can see how many posters were published for each area of the country. This series of books is being published in conjunction with The National Railway Museum in York and the Science and Society Picture Library in London.
Profusely illustrated in colour with hundreds of posters of Scotland, and 280 pages of well-researched prose.
Excellently produced by Richard Furness - A must buy!
