Railways book “exceptionally well written and ‘reader friendly'”: Review
The September 2016 edition of Midwest Book Review includes a very complimentary review of Herb MacDonald’s Cape Breton Railways: An Illustrated History (CBU Press 2012).
The review notes in particular that it is “a profusely illustrated history” providing “an interesting and colorful picture of Cape Breton’s railways in the contexts of the economic, cultural and political events on the island and beyond.”
It is, the review continues, “informed and informative, exceptionally well written, and thoroughly ‘reader friendly’ in tone, content, commentary, organization and presentation…. Unreservedly recommended.”
