A very 'interesting' book

Post by silverfox »

I have just finished reading a book entitled 'Railways Strangest Journeys' by Tom Quinn

The best way i can described this tome is that it is the written version of Cuneos paintings in that ,whilest there is no mouse to find, there are the most horrendous errors. in dates names, and locations.
I will not spoilt anyones 'enjoyment' in seeking these out, but if anyone sees this in a s/h bookshop for pennies i would urge them to buy it to have a bloody good laugh.
By the end story i was beginning to doubt what was written even though i knew it to be true.
