Summary: A Treasure for Lionel and Toy Train Enthusiasts
Review: Just received the new Lionel Reference book by Dave Doyle. This is a treasure. The book has more information packed between the covers than most any other toy train reference book. Outstanding pictures (kudos to his son for the pics) compliment the detailed descriptions of each item and the respective variations.

The book is well thought out regarding how the different subjects are arranged. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Lionel trains.

My only regret is I did not find the pre-order form for the 1970-2004 edition ;)

Thanks David for a terrific addition to the LL (Licata Library).

Summary: MOST COMPREHENSIVE YET
Review: THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR THE LIONEL COLLECTOR AND ENTHUSIAST!

MY ONLY CRITICISM IS THAT SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT AND CLASSIC MODELS WERE GIVEN ONLY TINY PHOTOGRAPHIC COVERAGE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PHOTO OF THE 773 HUDSON IS ABOUT 1/2" X 1" WHERE OTHER LESS IMPORTANT MODELS ARE GIVEN 1/8 OF A PAGE.

OTHER THAN THAT, THE BOOK IS GREAT AND VERY ENJOYABLE TO THUMB THROUGH!

Summary: Simply the best
Review: Without doubt this is the best new book for understanding Lionel Trains . The wealth of detail provided together with a rarity scale for each item should enable anyone to value their collection and ensure they know exactly what they own.
