Peter Waller has written a number of transport books covering a variety of subjects, and this is an excellent addition to his portfolio. He briefly covers the history of tram preservation, before moving to the photos of the trams in service. Each photo has a comprehensive caption detailing the history of the tram and company, and tells us where the tram is preserved. The photos are good quality, subject to their age of course, but are very atmospheric, mostly showing the trams earning their living in historic settings. It is a well presented book and well worth a look.

The captions are comprehensive and informative. The modern day enthusiast will be interested to read of the optimism of the original tramway entrepreneurs, much of which was unfounded.There were myriad systems in small towns with a handful of trams which did not survive long.

Absolutely gorgeous book, with pages of colorful illustrations and history behind stamps with buses/teams from multiple countries. This would be a beautiful gift for any collector or philately fan, which I consider myself to be. I am an avid letter writer with penpals all over the world. Using vintage stamps is part of my routine, so I am always interested in books like this. Highly recommend!
