Book Reviews of Practical Garden Railways
Book Review: Enjoyable British humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Altho I have enjoyed Garben RRing for years I still got a kick out of this book. It has many great thoughts for the beginning GRRer but for us that has been doing this for a while it is just refreshing reading. Peter has been RRing in the garden longer than I thought GRRing was around.. His writing is always something I look forward to each month in the Garden Railroader magazine each month.
Beginner or advanced you will enjoy this book!!!
