None of the copies of Jenkinson and Essery's trilogy on LMS Standard Coaching Stock are currently in print and thus are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Volume three is the final one of the set and covers Non-Corridor, Special Purpose, and Self-Propelled Vehicles including Royal Mail vehicles. Published in 2000, it has 208 pages with many good quality black and white plates together with 127 4mm scale drawings.
The book is in excellent condition with no obvious damage save for a mark on the frontispiece and the facing page, and slight wear to the dust jacket on the top of the spine.
Postage: £5 by Royal Mail First Class post
One of the more obscure titles from OPC in 1978 was Railway Motor Buses and Bus Services in the British Isles 1902-1933 Volume 1 by John Cummings.
This volume covers Ireland, Scotland, and the Northern, Midland and Eastern parts of the country and covers that period of time when railway companies were directly concerned with the running of motor bus services.
The book is in generally good condition save for a peeled off lable inside the front dust jacket, a small nick in the lower left front of the dust jacket and a little creasing on the spine of the d/j.
Post is by first class post.
