I ordered a copy on Sunday and it came in todays post, a quick flick through and it looks to be a very interesting read. Some pictures I've seen before but a lot I haven't.

Living in West London, I had not visited the KX extensions work, but when I saw the Coal Drop Yard was opening, I took the opportunity
to include it all and was impressed and surprised by how it has been combined, the old buildings, many of which had been quite run down
to now as the shops and restaurants is a pretty good example of properly using heritage buildings to fit with modern life.
I saw a copy of the book there, and decided to buy direct, and am not at all disappointed, the content is well laid out and includes
a great deal of detail which allows you to understand more about what happened and when.
If only we had more such books.
