Recensione
Dow has given us an extraordinary harvest of 3,700 entries to pick from... Magnificent book.
(Michael Binyon London Times 2006-01-00)There are some 80 dictionaries of quotations on the market yet, until now, none has dealt with railways.
(Rail 2006-01-00)This book is a quite astonishing compilation produced through time honoured research, enthusiasm, and dedication to railways.
(Railways Illustrated 2006-01-00)One of the best of themed quotation books I have come across in a good while is Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations ... A rich assemblage of railway/railroad sayings.
(The "Quote...Unquote" Newsletter 2006-01-00)This is the sort of book you don't realize you need until you see it.
(Railway Magazine 2006-01-00)It will undoubtedly become a classic work of reference in its own right.
(NRM Rview 2006-01-00)This is a major contribution to railroad literature, and I expect my copy to become dog-eared from frequent use.
(Classic Trains 2006-01-00)The scale of Andrew Dow's achievement is truly staggering.
(IRSE 2006-01-00)A fascinating book to dip into... Andrew Dow is to be congratulated.
(Times Literary Supplement 2006-01-00)Dow has done us all a tremendous service in producing this fascinating compendium... it will be referred to pleasurably again and again.
