RE: [CBQ] New Q Book ?????

[Gerald & Virginia Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

Tom Burg, an attendee at several BRHS meets (& a panelist for our clinic on RR 
book publishing @ the Dubuque Annual meet) is the editor/publisher of this 
superb book.  Roy Campbell, a Wisconsin resident & good friend & one-time 
employee of Al Kalmbach, was a very active AND excellent photographer of the 
midwest RR scene in the 30's to the 50's but his collection lay dormant after 
his death (and only a handful published during his lifetime).  His family 
working with Tom Burg, has had these published in a quality soft-bound series.  
Also several were put into CD format including the CB&Q book. The series of 
books/CD's is focused on Wis and adjacent states so the CB&Q book & CD have a 
heavy concentration on the LaCrosse & Chi-Aurora Divs with photos both 
technically sound and often revealing subjects not seen before.  All are well 
labeled as to where/when & special comments.

There is also a book on Chicago suburban railroads with significant CB&Q 
coverage. 

 

I offered several of the CB&Q books via this list two months ago & all were 
snapped up the same day (Tom had given me a special price for Q fans).   He who 
hesitates is lost!   :-)
