A note about this cottage industry: Railroad book publishers are mostly small, mom-and-pop operations with limited print runs. Titles can go out of print without notice, and stock levels aren't always predictable. We stock deep to minimize gaps, but if a title you want is available — don't wait. Most titles are never reprinted.
