Book Reviews
Reviews are listed in order of year of publication and price, where given, is the orignal RRP. This is no guarantee that books listed are still in print or that older publications are out of print.
Over time, this page is intended to become a source of information on historic/out of print books relating to Irish Railways. When I was a poor college student, in the days before the internet, knowing where to spend my scarce financial resources was always an issue as the title of a book does not necessarily
guide you as to its content. As I am now, thankfully, in a position to be able to afford to buy practically every new Irish railway publication, as well as any stray out of print ones that I come across, I am happy to provide these reviews to anyone who may be in the same situation as I was about 10 - 15 years ago.
