Hardcover with DJ in
mylar. St. Martin's Press, 1962, first edition. In very good condition,
name on front endpapers, outside page edges lightly soiled. DJ is fair,
has some chips and tears, back cover is soiled and lots of edgewear, now
encased in mylar. During the lifetime of the two men, England was
transformed from a rural land where speed of communications had been
determined by the horse, to an industrial complex linked by a network of
rails which spanned rivers, burrowed beneath mountains, brought London
and Edinburgh within a day's journey of each other.
