Book Description
Growing up on a farm in the Midwest during the 30¿s, 40¿s, and 50¿s was a page in history the will never be again. Each family farm was a special little unit that was very sufficient. We grew our own vegetables and some fruit, we raised cattle, pigs, and chickens. We therefore had our own milk and cream, our own meat, our own eggs, and from our well, our own water. The mothers sewed the clothing, and we even had our own fuel, copped wood! There was no medical insurance, and if the grandparents needed healthcare, the family took care of them. Farmers had no motor homes, vacations were unheard of when you have to milk the cows twice a day and you owed it to the cows to be on time. Entertainment was in the home and visiting the neighbors along with bridal showers, weddings, along with graduations and an occasional barn dance. It was a cohesive unit, and a happy one!

Book Description
• The first detailed study of this huge mainline through its operational history • Features extended commentaries from the authors, rich in detail • Superbly illustrated with black and white photographs, many never seen before In this second and final volume, the whole of the East Coast Main Line between King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations is examined closely, with a particular emphasis on the ways and structures: the line, stations, connections, yards, and other physical features. Interposed are accounts of the traffic at the principal stations – including connecting and branch line services – with observations on changes over the period 1939 to 1959. Some emphasis is placed on freight traffic on account of its importance and, perhaps, its relative unfamiliarity to the reader. The lines, stations and many other elements are described as they were in August 1939, but as some plans on which they are based are dated before the late 1930s, there may be marginal differences from the precise layout in 1939.

Book Description
Britain gave railways to the world, yet its own network is the dearest (definitely) and the worst (probably) in Western Europe. Trains are deeply embedded in the national psyche and folklore - yet it is considered uncool to care about them. For Matthew Engel the railway system is the ultimate expression of Britishness. It represents all the nation's ingenuity, incompetence, nostalgia, corruption, humour, capacity for suffering and even sexual repression. To uncover its mysteries, Engel has travelled the system from Penzance to Thurso, exploring its history and talking to people from politicians to platform staff. Along the way Engel ('half-John Betjeman, half-Victor Meldrew') finds the most charmingly bizarre train in Britain, the most beautiful branch line, the rudest railwayman, and - after a quest lasting decades - an Individual Pot of Strawberry Jam. Eleven Minutes Late is both a polemic and a paean, and it is also very funny.
