I wouldn't normally post an Ebay ad here but wondered if for some reason folk were just not finding it, perhaps it is in the wrong section but surprisingly there are not even any "watchers".



Item number: 150274402384 Engine-Driving Life or "Stirring Adventures and Incidents in the Lives of Locomotive Engine-Drivers" by Michael Reynolds born 1840. ("The Engine Driver's Friend") Published in London by Crosby, Lockwood and Co. 1st Edition 1881



Black, gold and silver design on grey cloth, showing the Tay Bridge accident of 28 December 1879. This incident features in William McGonagall's poem, "The Tay Bridge disaster".



Very good condition for a book that is over 120 years old. 5" x 7.25" tall. No jacket; frontispiece illustration is clear, no stamp marks nor inscription of any kind. The text block is grey but no spotting and the corners are slightly bumped.



Thanks, Mike
