CABINS CRUMMIES AND HACKS is a three part survey of the variety of cabooses that have operated over North American railroads. In the first volume there are over 350 color still & action photos, including some full page bleeds, covering 68 different railroads of the northeast. The photos capture the tremendous variety of caboose designs, as well as the huge diversity of heralds & color schemes that have adorned the caboose. The text recounts some caboose lore, manufacturing & operational information & even some caboose related music is covered. The next two volumes will cover, in a similar fashion, the other areas of this country, Canada & Mexico. The whole book is a riot of color & would have great eye appeal, even to those not very familiar with the subject. Very few books anywhere have this many color photos at this price.
