Review: Detailed account of Subject - This book goes into very fine detail of the history and production of the early Japanese railways. Purchased for the historical aspects and must say that a train /railways enthusiast will love this book. Finally available in paperback, the author spent over twenty years compiling the information presented and I must applaud him for his dedication and obvious love for the topic. The book is full of rare photographs from the time period and believe that a lot of the information is not found anywhere else. Makes a fine addition to the library of Japanese History and/or railways lore.
Review: A beautifully illustrated unique book - A beautifully illustrated unique book. It will be hard to find books in English, on this subject. It really fills a gap for those who are interested in the origins of the Japanese railway system. Very recommendable!
