(erielack) New DL&W book



I stopped by my local hobby shop today and was surprised to find a new
softcover book sitting in the book rack: "The Legendary Lackawanna - A
Belated Tribute to the Route of Phoebe Snow", by John R. Canfield. It was
only $12 so I picked up a copy.

The book is heavy on text and stories, a nice thing. It has a decent
selection of B&W images, but the halftone work on them is only "OK" - a
lower-density screen was used and so the quality is roughly equivalent to a
newspaper.

The real value of this book is not in the photos, but in the great stories
Mr. Canfield shares, and details of operational changes and interlocking
plants. At $12, it's a steal for that!

The book is self-published, but I checked and Ron's Books does carry it -
Jay Held, is the ELHS carrying this book as well?
