I would be remiss if I didn't point out that one of our fellow forum members, Frisco1522, has a new book coming out soon. Frisco Steam Salute is out by Don Wirth and Michael Kelly. From the website: Quote: This 128-page hardcover book contains over 100 black & white and color images of Frisco steam power in the 1930s and 1940s, expertly guided by Don Wirth, Chief Mechanical Officer for Frisco 4-8-2 #1522. The book also includes a few colorized images and a bonus section on the 1522. It has a May release date, but I think they were getting ready to ship sooner. You can find information here: https://michaelckelly.net/?p=7051 |

Thanks David. The book is horizontal format, hard cover, all Frisco steam action photos by a bevy of famous photographers from negatives in my collection. Joe Collias, Tex Prusia, Richard Kindig,Preston George,Wm. Barham, Lucius Beebe, R S Plummer and others. I enjoyed putting all of this together and would describe it as a Frisco picture book. There have been several books published about the Frisco. Detailed history, detailed rosters and many roster shots. I decided that yet another roster/history book isn't needed but a good book of action photos might fill the bill. I hope it does well and is liked. There could always be a "second section". |
