Faultless book and DJ. Edited by Edward C. Goodman. My guess is that the previous owner was more interested in hardware than literature, for how could he resist Fanny Kemble, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, and dozens oif other internationally-known writers whose train experiences are sampled here ? 368 pp. with index..
