About This Item
Three Books, each signed. First Editions. Oblong. Each book is near fine, or better. Deisel Daze is near fine in a very good DJ with chipping at the spine and minor shelf wear. Orient is fine with a near fine DJ. Dining Cars is fine and has pictorial boards with no DJ. All three are approximately the same size with Deisel just a little larger. Diesel Daze was published by Kachina Press, in Dallas in 1980. Orient and Dining Cars were published by Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society in 2006 and 2011. The late John McCall was an authority on Santa Fe Railroad. McCall's father worked for Santa Fe for many years and kept a lot of documents. Each book is inscribed and signed by McCall to the same guy. All books have square corners and clean and unmarked pages. These book are being sold as a set because they just go together. The set offers a significant savings over purchasing the books separately. Plus there aren't any signed books on the market.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
