A GREAT SOURCE of info for CATALOGUED SETS for BOTH PREWAR and POSTWAR
2nd Enlarged Edition
You are looking at a book that was published in the early era of price and information guides to Lionel Trains in 1982 and is no longer in publication. And really, there has been nothing like it since. This book is still the ONLY book to cover catalogued sets of both the prewar and postwar era including BOTH O AND STANDARD.
So what is in this book? You get lots of ways to find that set:

This one is a fantastic resource--so much information in one place. PLUS, one thing I have discovered is that it is good to have multiple sources when doing the research--even earlier volumes sometimes have info you don't find later.
CONDITION: Very good condition. Complete. The book show areas of aging: outer edge discoloration, some pages show some wear from perusal, some edge wear, some cover laminate wear. Pictures show it all.
