I have it, but haven't read it yet. Even though I haven't lived in San Jose for over 25 years, I recently started ordering my books from Dennis at the Train Shop and have them shipped to me in the Seattle area. His quality is far better than most other on-line train book sellers.

He sent me the Hornbeck book, but I haven't read it yet so I'll tell you what I think when I look at it.

Funny, I also had a rude experience in the Train Shop about three years ago, as some othes have stated. But lately when I deal with Dennis on the phone, he's cordial, helpful and great to work with. He also packs great and doesn't send clearly already damaged books like other sellers do.

I also have the new Trackside Southern Pacific book on order, and Morning Sun is going to release a Trackside around San Francisco book in a few months that sounds like it will be interesting.
