After reading your CBQlist post on this book, I sent my order in for one. I
always like to purchase any books on Q topics and general RR books by our
various Q/BRHS authors. Pete, I also enjoy reading your books & articles on
the Q & railroading. Maybe I can get your aoutograph on my copy at Mendota next
Novermber ?
Thanks for the heads up.
