Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Jacket photo by Bill Wright (illustratore). 1st Edition. First published in 1995 by Gollancz, this is a first revised edition thus, first impression. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 294pp. Nicholas Whittaker¿s much loved classic recollects the long sunny days of his childhood when, notepad in hand, jam sandwiches in the duffel bag, he happily spent his time jotting down train numbers during the Indian summer of steam and the heyday of diesel. Whittaker returns to his roots in this updated edition, casting a sceptical eye over recent developments, catching up with old acquaintances and considering the toll that half a century of ridicule and a couple of decades of privatisation have wrought upon his beloved pastime. As Andrew Martin notes in his Foreword, this is 'one of the best books ever written about rail enthusiasm'. Equally it is a poetically written memoir of growing up in a more innocent age, a hymn to British eccentricity and to the virtues of observing the world around you 'Spotters, of trains, planes, buses or birds, are a last redoubt for something rapidly vanishing from our lives, looking outward, seeing, observing. People notice things less and less these days, while watching things more and more'.
