"This book, produced in conjunction with the Record Office of Leicestershire County Council, is a splendid tribute to his work." "The photographs are excellently reproduced one to a page, with concise yet informative captions, and this book provides an outstanding picture record of not only a massive railway construction project, but also of ordinary rural life in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Buckinghamshire in the years around the turn of the century." Backtrack April 2009
