" ", the book is described by its sub-


title as a “Pictorial Collection of Color Drawings of the Electric Railways of Los Angeles and Southern California.” That explains why all the cars are ei-


ther red or yellow (okay, one is two-toned green-and-yellow). Therein, on attrac- tive gloss-finished paper, find 32 full- page works of art accompanied by brief, neatly hand-lettered descriptions of each picture on the facing page. Six pages of explanatory notes complete what makes for a very pleasant evening of reading and looking at bygone scenes of Pacific Electric and Los Angeles Railways. The first three printings sold out im- mediately, but orders for a fourth print- ing are being taken. You can order your copy, priced at $45.00 (plus shipping and handling), at http://tinyurl.com/z54hsrk. Meanwhile, Harlan is completing work on the second of a planned six volume series capturing his steam locomotive art.
