I was asked by Steve to help edit this tome and it proved a challenging task. 293 pages hard back with dust jacket and comes in a nice cardboard box like the previous books with important biographies, maps, diagrams and appendix. Depending on the number of orders I may take on the the UK distribution...Please circulate to other Kenya people and if you are interested let me know.

A Railway to Nowhere: The Building of the Lunatic Line 1896-1901, Stephen Mills and Brian Yonge, Mills Publishing 2012, ISBN 99667094-3-6.
I've just received my copy delivered to my door in Nairobi, signed by the author and with a certificate of authenticity that it "is one of a limited edition". Mine is no 0133.
At first glance it looks impressive. It is coffee table size, but with plenty of text as well as photos, all in a sort of brown sepia tint. I'll write more when I've had a chance to look at it properly.

Here is Amazon's write up. The editorial review is very good. https://www.amazon.com/Railway-Nowhere- ... 9966709436
