Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. RAILROADS SNOWPLOW CLEARING MOUNTAIN RAILS BY GERALD M. BEST 1966 1ST DJ 150 PICTURES. Staying with my current group of books about railroads, I am pleased to offer another volume, one which will prompt you to say, if you live here in the Northeast, whatever happened to snowy winters? The book is titled: Snowplow Clearing Mountain Rails, by Gerald M. Best. This large hard cover book (8 ¾ x 11 ¼ inches, 119 pages) was published by Howell-North Books of Berkeley, California, dated 1966 and a First Edition with the same date on title & copyright pages. This book is bound in warm green cloth with black title panels on cover and spine; it is protected by a printed paper dust jacket. As I have written about other books among my railroad listings, this one too is copiously illustrated with iconic b&w photos of locomotives and trains. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket has suffered a bit, with some light tobacco smoke staining (no residual odor) and edge wear including small tears and chips. The hard covers are clean and bright with some light bumping to the bottom corner and spine tip. Inside, a former owner has left his name on the first blank page but that is the only mark I found in the books. The interior pages and many photos are clean and unblemished throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
