 Streamline trains July 18, 2001
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Although the American Streamliner Prewar Years is a fascinating study of the subject I thought the book was badly let down by the very poor layout. Far too much white space was left on many pages where stunning rarely-seen photos and graphics should have been bigger. The authors clearly know their subject and it is a pity that they or their publisher did not feel it was necessary to spend some time on a better presentation. Page 173 mentions a forthcoming Postwar volume, I hope this edition will have a better design treatment.
 The American Streamliner : Prewar Years January 17, 2000

This is a great resource book for your railroad library if you are interested in the streamlining era. If, like me, you custom paint model trains, then this book is even more important because of all the color photos it contains. Serious use of color film was a rarity (due to low ASA numbers when compared to black-and-white) during the steam-to-diesel transition era, so I appreciate the nice collection of color photos included in this book. Coverage of any particular train or railroad is not exhaustive, but there is enough included to get you started. The text is well written. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to volume II - Postwar Years.
