The book is brand new, just as described. The price was reasonable. Shipping was fast, and tracking was provided. Unlike other sellers who REFUSE to leave feedback unless the buyer leaves feedback first, this seller left feedback immediately upon payment. THIS is how it should be. EXCELLENT transaction! Thank you very much.

Item is just as described and in pristine condition. Packaged extremely well. Thank you!! I would buy from the seller again. But be aware, processing and shipping is a lengthy process and you aren’t likely to get your item in under a week. But did arrive in the stated delivery window. Now, knowing that it will take time to arrive, this book was so clean and nice, I will buy from the seller again. Patience is a good skill to cultivate.

  • Interesting and Comprehensive

    For anyone considering a Lego town with a train, this is the best and only book with every aspect described, details, history, problems, etc. I never knew about the 3 generations of locomotives for "Lego Land". I had been thinking about building a Lego train for a long time. Reading the book has given me more to think about than I had ever imagined. Since the book is hard cover, it will be read often as an informational guide. It surely is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in Lego (L Gauge) railroading.
