I am sure that everyone connected with
the selling of railway books,(be they
dealers or publishers) will agree that
over the last few years demand has dropped
substantially, for both new and used
titles, due to a combination of
reasons,the gradual loss of the "steam
generation" of buyers, resulting in an
over supply of many titles becoming
available to buy, the growth of the
internet where so much information is
there for free and a generation that
doesn't want to own anything "physical"
be it books, cds, dvds etc.Fewer new
titles have been published in the last
few years,and print runs have reduced
dramatically (now nearer to 1000 than
the days of 2500+ runs) primarily since
OPC was acquired by Ian Allan, which has
now been sold to Crecy Books and Oakwood
were sold to Stenlake, both of these
sales leading to a substantial fall in
new book output.
One newcomer to railway publishing is
Pen & Sword, who are long
established publishers of military books
but fairly new to transport books
(railways, canals and buses).Having just
received their catalogue of new titles
covering April to October I do wonder
who they feel will buy some of the
projected titles, for example-The Pacer
Family End of an Era @ £25,The Voyager
Family @ £25 Eric Bottomley's Transport
Gallery @ £30,British Steam Sunset @
£19.99 and yet another book on The Welsh
Highland Railway @ £30.I don't blame the
authors (after all they do get paid!)
but I do wonder how many of these titles
will end up being heavily discounted
just to shift them, which in turn does
the long term sale of new books no good
at all.Having said that a few on the
forthcoming list do look interesting-GW
County Classes @ £30 LMS Locomotive
Design and Development The Life and Work
of Tom Coleman @ £30 Stanier Black Five
Loco's @ £25 and even Adrian Shooter A
Life In Engineering and Railways @ £25.
Time will tell if Pen & Sword stay
in the transport book market.

Being a railway
bookdealer and GWR fan,I would be one
of the first to think that there is
little or no demand for any more books
on GWR Engines (after all we have Jim
Russell's and RCTS books already) it
appears I am wrong! Jim Champ's new
book "An Introduction to Great Western
Locomotive Development" a 356 page
study is fair flying off the shelves,
not cheap at £35 plus p&p but it
seems destined to be a best
seller.Good old GWR never fails to
stir the senses.Plenty more on order
if you want one.

As I have said before I have always been
a huge fan of Colin Gifford's
work.I have a copy of everything he has
ever published.So I am delighted to see
this on Kidderminster Museum's website.Not
sure if it's his colour pics or what.I
will keep you informed!
4th August to 19th August
An exhibition of photographs to
commemorate 50 years since the end of
scheduled steam services on British
Railways. This exhibition will be combined
with the launch of a new book by Colin T
Gifford, and also several other events
involving a special timetable on the
Severn Valley Railway. More details to
come.
A
little more info on the
forthcoming book " The book is
called 'Transition' and covers
basically the years 1955 (date
of the modernisation plan) to
1968 (end of steam). It shows
the decline in steam usage and
increase in diesel/electric
usage, and most pictures
depict a mixture of motive
power in some form or another
images are in black &
white" Hopefully available by
4th August.
***************************************
Another stunning series of books coming
this year is the FOUR volume set, (with
over 1000 pages) being published by The
Merchant Neverers Association
to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
end of BR Steam on August 11th 1968.This
should be fantastic.Again more info. when
I have it.

Another on line seller to
avoid-BetterWorld Books.Just had
delivery of a book from them.The picture
on their listing showed a good condition
copy, when it arrived it is ex library,
no dustwrapper.This is a 400 page
hardback and amazingly it came in a
plastic bag and was badly bumped in
transit.These sorts of sellers (World of
Books is another) give the book selling
trade a really bad name.
Their automated system sent this
"Many thanks for your email! I am just a
robot, here to let you
know that we got your email (Ticket
2760537)! Real humans will read and
respond to your message shortly.
Due to the high volume of incoming
messages, we ask that you refrain from
sending multiple tickets. If you have

message directly. Your email will be

they can to respond quickly. "
Hardly surprising they are
getting a high volume of incoming
messages if they offer such poor
service.
It really is about time that the
major on line sellers like Amazon and
Ebay clamped down on these idiots
before they do even more damage to the
secondhand book trade.

I have just
listed this on Ebay.It has been

survivor?

Ah! The power of the Internet! On
Tuesday I bought a book called Daniel
Rowland and the Great Evangelical
Awakening in Wales, he was a preacher with
strong connections to this part of Wales,
in particular Llangeitho, 2 miles from
where I live.I thought I might sell it
locally, but no! today it has sold to a
buyer in USA.It's a small world.

Just when you thought I had gone
away I am back!
Way back in 2017 I lost my database
and many other records due to a PC failure
(I know I should have backed up!) Then
other things happened, so I neglected this
section of my website in favour of using
my business facebook page.Hopefully things
are now back on track (sorry) and regular
updates will once again start appearing.

Not sure this would work with my
stock.Out of 5000+ I doubt if 10 are
by women authors!
Promoting your bookshop can be
costly and many know that money spent
on conventional advertising is not the
most effective option. So does it pay
to be original?
Earlier this year, as part of
National Woman's Month, Loganberry
Books in Ohio owned and staffed
entirely by women, decided to
rearrange the stock to mark the event.
They spent hours turning all books
written by male authors so that the
foredge was facing outwards - a
metaphor for silencing the male voice.
Not a quick task. Unsurprisingly, the
idea has been featured as 'news' in
the local media which, of course, cost
very little.

waiting after 3 days for a reply from
Crecy Publishing re opening a trade
account and Tor Mark (Book wholesalers)
about an order.They must have so much
business they don't want any more.I wish I
did.!See below for update!

Well well got a reply from Tor Mark
today.Inspiring I don't think!
Fancy taking your old site out of use
whilst still having your site
redesigned!

Ticket to Dent-Book Review.
Just finished reading this, which
came out a few weeks ago.In many ways not
a railway book as such, more a biography
of the author and his recollections of
buying Dent station and running it is a
very up market holiday let.It makes very
interesting reading (if rather repetitive
as he uses it as a marketing tool more
than once!) Some of the photo reproduction
is rather poor with heavy pixelation of
images, which in this day and age there is
no excuse for surely.I remember the
station being up for sale and me wishing
if I only had £300,000+ spare it would be
agreat place to live and run a railway
bookshop from-daydreaming again!Copies are
available from Booklaw (www.booklaw.co.uk)
at £25+ p&p.

Just had this
from Talyllyn Railway.Bit of a
shock tbh!
We would like to
share with you the news that
Tracey will be departing the post
of General Manager for the Railway
to take up a new post on another
heritage line. I am sure you will
share with us our thanks for the
effort and contribution that she
has made over the past year.
Tracey has
brought energy and a fresh
perspective to the Railway which
has enabled us to move forwards in
a number of ways. Tracey will
leave us in a much improved state
(currently we have greatly
increased passenger numbers and
revenue) and has initiated many
new ideas, which we are confident
will bear fruit in the future. We
will wish her well when she leaves
for her new role and hope that she
will have the success there that
her enthusiasm and talents
deserve.
In the meantime
we will be moving forward with all
appropriate speed to find the
right person to develop the
Railway further. Interim measures
will also be put in place after
Tracey leaves to ensure the
momentum we have developed in
recent years will not diminish.

A further
statement has been issued by

Whilst I know to some enthusiasts,
James Boyd has been discredited, with
some of his research suspect, he was,
and still is, the reason that so many
of us (me included) got interested in
Narrow Gauge railways.His works
published by Oakwood set the standard
for the future.
I have these books by him in
stock and until 23/4/17 I am offering

Given the substantial reduction in
new book sales over the last few years
resulting in much lower print runs (gone
are the days of 2500+ being printed, now
on average about 1000-1200 is the norm.)
it is very good to hear from the
author,Martin Williams, that his superb
book
"The Ruabon To Barmouth Line
(Reflections of a Lost Welsh Railway)"
published by Lightmoor Press in 2015 has
almost sold out, with less than 150
remaining.If you want one be quick. Great
value at £30.

Should Britain's railways be
re-nationalised? Excellent 8 page article

HAY UP!
The book town of Hay-on-Wye
celebrated its 40th Anniversary of
Independence last week with three days
of events marking this milestone. Hay
was the first 'book town' to be
founded and many more have been set up
in countries across the world. By all
accounts a large number of
bibliophiles from the UK and overseas
travelled to Hay to join in the
celebrations - an anniversary that is
to become an annual event.
This is great news as the town
has been hijacked over many years by
the literary 'Hay Festival' which uses
its name but is set in marquees
outside the town. Thus many of the
visitors to the Festival miss the
attractions for which the town itself
is famous.
Congratulations to the
organisers and everyone who helped to
make this anniversary a success.

As if Amazon are not making enough in
fees,they want more from August 1st.They
may well kill the golden goose, as
without sellers on their market place
they have no business.
Dear Seller,
In the coming months, we will make
several changes to features and fees
relating to the sale of Media items on
the Amazon Marketplace at Amazon.co.uk.
We are introducing several changes that
will further improve the customer
experience and provide you with
increased flexibility.
Set your own shipping rates for
Media items
Effective 1 August 2017, you will
be able to set your own shipping rates
(including offering free shipping) for
books, music, video, and DVD items and
to set different shipping rates by
region for expedited delivery or by
country for international delivery. No
change will be made to your shipping
rates without your action.
Changes to Selling on Amazon fees
for Media items
We will be making two changes to
how Selling on Amazon fees* are
charged for Media items (including
books, music, video, DVD, software,
and video games). These fee changes
will not take effect until 1 August
2017 to give you time to plan
accordingly.
a) Variable Closing Fees (VCF): The
VCF charge in Media categories (books,
music, video, DVD, software, and video
games) will change as per the table
below. This charge will appear as a
Closing Fee (CF) instead of as a VCF
to avoid confusion, as it will be a
fixed fee rate and not variable.
Closing Fees Before 1st August From
1st August
Books £0.43 £0.50
Music £0.24 £0.50
DVD £0.14 £0.50
Video £1.15 £0.50
Video games and software £-
£0.50
b) Referral fees: Currently, the
referral fee for Media items is an
applicable percentage of an item’s
sales price (excluding any shipping or
gift wrap charges). Effective 1 August
2017, the referral fee will instead be
calculated on the total sales price
(the total amount paid by the
customer, including the item price and
any shipping or gift wrap charges).
6/4/17

Back in the "good old days" when a
company was putting it's prices up they
just said so (sometimes even
apologising), now you get all this BS
first...(That's Royal Mail, Ebay and now
auction sniper all putting up prices,
who makes these decisions? I assume they
think If we put up our prices more
people will use our services, sorry the
opposite applies.Royal Mail really need
to be aware of this in a very
competitive market)
"Update On Services
The Auction Sniper team has built the best
sniping program available. Our
recently released mobile snipe
capability has helped our customers
win more than ever before. We are
powering the most effective snipers on
eBay and continue to make significant
improvements to our algorithms, plus
our data science team is building
machine learning intelligence into the
Auction Sniper platform. We’ve made
significant investments into Auction
Sniper and continue to see the best
yield for people who are focused on
winning eBay auctions.
We're writing to let you know,
we’ll soon be making modifications to
our pricing model. These pricing
modifications help us offset increased
infrastructure and support costs
necessary for maintaining and
investing in our service. In fact, in
over 15 years of service, this is the
first time we’ve adjusted our pricing
model. Starting April 3, 2017, the
modified plan will take effect. Here
is a summary of the update: For
auctions won that end at $23.99 USD,
the fee will now be $0.35 USD; for
auctions won that end between $24.00
and $995.00 USD, the fee will be 1.5%
of the final price; and for auctions
won that end at $995.01 USD or more,
the fee will be $14.99 USD. There are
no additional fees for adult category
or eBay Motors auctions. Foreign
currency auctions (GBP, AU dollars,
etc.) will be converted to American
dollars at the daily currency exchange
rate before the 1.5% fee is
determined.
As has been the case in our ongoing
operations, your credit card will be
billed on the last week of each month
if your balance exceeds $2.50 USD. If
your balance is below $2.50 USD, it
will be carried over to the next month
for a maximum of six months at which
time your account will be charged
regardless of the total amount due.
During months in which you purchase
shipping insurance through Auction
Sniper, the minimum charge becomes
$1.00 USD.
As usual, Auction Sniper does not
pay the seller of items you've won
using our service. The fees we collect
are only for the cost of using our
snipe service. You must pay the seller
of your won items in your normal
manner.
Sincerely,
The Auction Sniper Team

Some time ago the chap running a
bookshop in Hawes was castigated for
charging 50p "entry fee" refundable on
purchases.I fully understood why he did
it.This letter in a book trade
newsletter confirms what I feel about
the practice, after many years of a few
(very few) customers using my stall as a
library!
"Sir
After all the publicity
surrounding Bloomingdales Bookshop in
Hawes, I decided to pay a visit as I was
in the area. I was the first customer of
the day and was greeted by the
pleasant owner Steve Bloom. I told him
of my interests and was shown to two
areas where I could peruse the
shelves. I was not asked for money.
However, Hawes is a small town and as
I waited for the shop to open I walked
around and could sense boredom in the
area among many of the visitors,
especially on a wet and windy weekday.
While I was in the shop a number of
people came in to shelter from the
elements. They were asked for 50 pence
as it was obvious they were not really
interested in purchasing. They then
left. Those who were obviously
interested in books offered the money
when told it would be deducted from
purchases. By showing their obvious
intent the request for money was
declined. In no instance in my nearly
two hours in the shop did any 50 pence
change hands.
It is obvious that Mr Bloom's tactics
work and time-wasters depart hastily.
Before I saw events for myself I was
inclined to think that the admission
fee was outlandish. I have now
completely changed my mind and wonder
why other small bookshops do not copy
the Hawes concept."

and 1994, annotated with historical detail
ie owning company, opening and closing
years, station renamings (with dates),
tunnels (shown and named),water
troughs,inclines etc. All this information
is shown, superimposed in colour for each
operating company on 1 inch to
1 mile Ordnance Survey Maps (latest being
1971) So you get all the map detail ie
towns, villages, rivers,etc etc in 1 inch
scale PLUS the route of all railways
clearly added on top.Volume 1 has
434 pages,(all maps) volume 2 has
213 pages of maps PLUS 12 pages of family
trees of railway company ownership, plus
31 page index! Each volume is some 13
inches by 12 inches so the detail is clear
and legible.High quality printing and
binding in purpose made slipcase. A real
labour of love. This IS the ultimate
railway atlas.Each volume is truly
fine,(no inscriptions) the slipcase is
also fine.A better used set you will
struggle to find.It weighs over 8
kilo's! Due to weight, postal costs
(particularly overseas) will be
substantial. £250.00 + p&p OR
Post Free to any UK address for payment by
Bank Transfer or Cheque.Cheapest on the
Interent!
I believe it is currently back in
print at £345+ p&p

Amazon
continually ask me why I don't
offer my stock to overseas
customers.Simple I told them- I
don't want to lose £s on the
shipping.Their allowance is
totally inadeqaute for 90% of
books.Their UK allowance of
£2.80 is also below the parcel
rate of £2.85 (upto 2kgs) never
mind the cost of packaging.
It took them
several weeks to come back to me
with this gobbledygook.So add it
to the book price they
say-that's what I do already.Buy
DIRECT from me by email or
phoning taht way you and I both
save!!
Greetings from
Amazon Seller Support.
I am writing to
you regarding the issue raised
by you about the shipping credit
for BMVD credits. Kindly allow
me to address your query.
As informed
previously by my colleague,
unfortunately for Books, Music
,Videos and DVDs Amazon sets all
the shipping prices to provide a
wholesome buying experience for
Sellers on this platform.
Please be
informed that Amazon sets the
same shipping price for Books,
Music ,Videos and DVDs for all
the seller's on the Amazon
platform. As such, it is not
possible for any seller to
change the shipping credits for
items falling under these
categories. You may however
choose the carrier and method of
your choice.
However, I
understand that due to the
shipping price you are facing
loss on your side in selling
BMVD products as the shipping
companies charge more than the
shipping price allowed on these
products. You may however
include the loss faced due to
this in the item price of the
products. This will help you
avoid the loss you face due to
the low shipping price allowed
to be charged.
I was also able
to understand that the previous
associate have put across your
request to change the shipping
price for BMVD products as a
feature request to the Business
Team. However, let me inform you
that the decision on this regard
by the Business team will effect
all the seller's on the Amazon
platform and it can't be made
without testing it first. Hence
we will not be able to provide
you with any specific date as to
when the changes might go
through.
I hope I was
able to address your issue.
Please be
confident that Seller support is
just a mail away from you in
case you find any difficulty.
Kindly do not hesitate to write
back to us if you need any
clarification or any kind of
support.
Thank you for
selling with Amazon.

Modern

is building into a tremendous
reference source for all things
diesel and electric (Locomotives

number 223 (it started at 171,
following on from Locomotives
Illustrated) is on the rather
dull Networker,Juniper and

to Colin Marsden and the
publishers for covering these
workaday classes.As a future
reference they will be
invaluable.I have stock of this
issue @ £4.50 plus p&p and
other back issues, please
enquire.Many are out of print
and hard to find already.If you
have any for sale do let me
know.
Issue 224 will

How NOT to sell
railway books-
1-Place full
page advert in two consecutive
issues of well known finescale
railway modelling magazine
listing books for sale, listed
by publisher.
2-Don't have
access to them when you get
enquiries about edition and
condition.
3-Invite
"offers" despite 2 above.
4-Wonder why
the potential buyer (me) backs
off.

notice there are 3 sets on Ebay now,
all under £200 (2 under £150) and no
bids so far.It is of course back in
print (by his son) at £345!!Great tho
it is, that is way too much money.

Just finished reading
The Settle-Carlisle Railway 1850-1990
(The Buiding and Saving of a Great
Railway A LIne of Critical Decisions)
By Martin Pearson.A fascinating look
at some of the political goings on
leading upto the day in April 1989
when sense and reason kicked in and BR
were refused permission to close the
line.
If you are
interesting in the politics behind
railways or are involved in a
group trying to re-open a line (or
prevent closure of an existing
one) it is well worth a read.Well
done to The Friends of the S&C
Line for all their work way back
in 1980's (which continues to this
day) that without doubt helped
save this wonderful line for us
all to enjoy.
Copies of this
book can be bought form The
Friends on line shop (I am not
stocking it) here is the link. £13
well spent!

This is a quote from Heritage
Railway magazine "Because the train line
exists there is no reason why it cannot go
ahead......The plans are in very early
stages but why not bring people to our
historic train station via public
transport" I will reveal who is quoted as
saying this idc.A clue-it's some one who
should really know much much better!

Due to a page corruption all
previous "Nigels Notes" are lost but hey
they were old news!
So lets start 2017
afresh.............
Good to see Heritage Railway
magazine paying homage to Ian Allan
Publishing, following their sale to Crecy
Publishing.I suspect without Ian Allan's
spotting books (which apparently in the
50's and 60's sold over a million abc's
every year!)we would have very few railway
enthusiasts, many of whom are the same
people that today operate our heritage
lines.I hope Crecy realise what a legacy
they have acquired.The market for railway
books is very different (and much smaller)
in 2017 than it was upto say even10 years
ago as the "old guard" pass away.Print
runs are tiny nowadays (often 1200 or
less) compared with the heyday of
publishing when 5000+ was normal.
