Monorails: Trains of the Future-Now Arriving (ISBN-13: 978-0986249488)
The book is available through the following locations:
Early reviews:
“The author has produced something wonderful here.” JH
“I can honestly say this book is well worth the price just for the pictures alone.” SE
“This is a masterpiece. Every technical university should have one.” JK
“This is a book to own for any monorail or transportation enthusiast.: TS
Since publication in December the large 248-page hardbound book is already being used by monorailists and manufacturers to promote monorail for transit. Monorails: Trains of the Future-Now Arriving is the definitive book on the topic and after only two months on the market, the color photo-rich book in the libraries of many railfans. If you don’t have the book on your coffee table yet, it’s time to order it before it sells out!
