Revisiting The Long Island Rail Road: 1925-1975

OK guys . . .. it's getting close!

I just received my author's first copy from Arcadia in the mail and they tell me their distribution date is the week of August 15.

The book looks great, if I say so myself!

Great cover . . .

Great photos inside . . . .

Terrific double-paged spreads of the Babylon electric yard and Morris Park Shops . . .. . . .

So, if this is sounding good, mail me your orders and I'll get your copies out in the mail once I receive my supply!!

Thanx again to all you great fans who have already sent me your orders! If you haven't done so yet, then whaddaya waitin' for, the 7:14 owdda Manorville?

Will copies be available at the RRMofLI fair in Riverhead 8/27-8/28? (MY B&N does not yet have it in stock....)

JKTRR:

NONE of the local bookstores has it in stock as of yet.

It will be available all over sometime during the week of August 15 (next week!!)

I have been in communication with the nice folks at the RMLI and they are, hopefully, making their decision. I had suggested they order some of the books for their Railfest and afterwards, take any extra to stock their wonderful gift shop shelves!

Don't know their decision as of yet.

Again . . . if you'd like to get an inscribed and/or autographed copy, send your order directly to me. (e-mail me at [email protected])

Thanks for your interest!!

Hey Folks!

The books are here!!!!!

Those who have sent advance orders will be getting e-mails from me as their copies go in the mail.

Looks great Oracle! Is that the Valley Stream branch on the cover?

Thanks for the compliment!

The cover shot is of a MU train leaving Malverne! It's printed in its entirety inside the book with a caption.

I think I just might have to get my hands on a copy.

None of the hobby stores or books stores have them yet. I went looking all around this past weekend and haven't been able to find it. Dave, do you sell them personally or do I have to purchase them from a store? Also, if you know where I can get one, please let me know, I have a few co-workers who liked the other one so much that they want me to get them a copy of part 2!

I know i saw a bunch in Book Revue in Huntington (its near the corner of 25a and Rt 110).
its upstairs, under the "Long Island" section (which is right above the cafe, near the couches...you'll see)

Mark 777 and all others . . . . . .

BOTH books are available directly from me, and will be autographed (and inscribed if you choose)!!!!!

I'm curious,

As I don't have either book yet, if I get the second book, does it contain all the content of the first?

Kyle

Kyle,
Both books have differing chapters, topics and entirely new photos.

http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirrbook.htm has the book indexes you can download and review.

Hope this helps. Regards, Steve Lynch

Dave,

You should be getting my MO anyday now. Can't wait to read it!!

KLCS:

I have BOTH books available at this time, autographed and they can be inscribed if you like.
