musictom SUBS 17th Jun 2023		Book Various Authors - Blues Records 1943-1970 (1994)	Apparently this is much harder to find than Volume 1.
musictom SUBS 27th Nov 2022		Book Harvey S. Laner - Remembrances Of The Pacific Electric Railway (2018)	The Orange Empire Railway Museum is now known as The Southern California Railway Museum.
musictom SUBS 9th Nov 2021		Book Mark Effle - I.N.L. (1978)	I see you found a copy, congratulations. My copy says "First Printing". I doubt if there was ever a second printing; I do not believe this was a good seller."
musictom SUBS 5th Nov 2021		Book Ira L. Swett - Lines Of Pacific Electric (1953)	The cover with the color must be a very later publishing as none of the original pages had any color. Seems to cover the same material as 887252.
musictom SUBS 1st Sep 2021		Book Jeffrey Moreau - The Pacific Electric Pictorial (1964)	Jeffrey Moreau passed away in 2013. He was the brother of actress Stephanie Powers.
musictom SUBS 2nd Aug 2021		Book Jim Walker - The Yellow Cars Of Los Angeles (1977)	My copy is first edition (also personally autographed by the author). Also my copy does not have the price and ISBN number on the back at bottom. Mine has a price of $27.50 on the inside flap of the front cover. WPLives: Does your copy have the Special Number, 43, on the spine? Mine does not.
musictom SUBS 28th Jul 2021		Book Ira L. Swett - Interurbans (1951)	I know it barely qualifies as a book but it is part of the interurban Specials which comprised around 118 books. It seemed appropriate to keep it with its brethern.
musictom SUBS 28th Jul 2021		Book Ira L. Swett - Cars Of Pacific Electric, Vol. III (1978)	Actually I already entered this item albeit using the original red cover as the primary photo. See https://www.45worlds.com/book/title/nc502255us. I don't mind if we keep both entries.
musictom SUBS 5th Mar 2019		Book Jay Leno - More Headlines (1990)	Jay Leno used to show these on the Tonight Show in the U.S. usually on Monday nights. Some are very funny. We used to watch them before bed. Many of them are available on YouTube.
musictom SUBS 1st Dec 2018		Book Jim Walker - The Yellow Cars Of Los Angeles (1977)	The author passed away September 23, 2018.
musictom SUBS 11th Jul 2017		Book Various Authors - Street Action (1991)	Front cover taken at around 6720 Van Nuys Blvd. Los Angeles. Google Maps location
musictom SUBS 11th Feb 2017		Book Herb Woods - Galveston-Houston Electric Railway (1959)	I would go ahead and add your cover. This book lists all the Interurban Specials through 1978 with printing quantities. It is usually readily available here in the Los Angeles area for not too much money; I don't think it sold well.
musictom SUBS 6th Dec 2016		Book Richard Goldstein - The Poetry Of Rock (1969)	This was a required text book in a college class I took back in the late 1960s.
musictom SUBS 30th Jun 2016		Book Mike Leadbitter - Blues Records 1943-1970 (1987)	From what I understand, Volume 2 is much rarer.
musictom SUBS 31st May 2016		Book The 45 RPM Handbook Of Oldies - Record Rack (1976)	An article about this book was in Billboard January 22, 1977. Can't tell what page. Same issue also had a 1/2 page ad with ordering coupon.
musictom SUBS 24th Nov 2015		Book Various Authors - The Kite Roure (1986)	Back cover: "most unique"?
musictom SUBS 23rd Nov 2015		Book Danny Howard - Southern California And The Pacific Electric (1980)	Indicates Volume 1 but I do not believe there was ever a Volume 2
musictom SUBS 15th Nov 2015		Book Louis H. Pursley - The Toronto Trolley Car Story, 1921-1961 (1961)	There were to be 4 books on Toronto trolleys. Unfortunately Mr. Pursley passed away after this book was published and his widow sold the material to a group in Toronto that would publish it. Not sure if that ever happened. Numbers assigned to the material, Specials 30 and 31, were used for other books.
musictom SUBS 15th Nov 2015		Book Ira L. Swett - Lines Of Pacific Electric (1953)	Occasionally during this period the company referred to their product as a Magazine. But in the truest sense they were books.
