From Euston, near the site of one of the earliest experiments with steam locomotion, through 400 miles of English and Scottish countryside to Glasgow, the journey has much to offer. Hills and mountains, estuaries, rivers, and valleys and even a glimpse of the west coast of England combine with manmade features such as viaducts and cuttings, tunnels and embankments, as well as churches, cathedrals, castles, Roman roads, canals, and motorways, to provide a microcosm of Britain that will engage the traveler’s attention along the way. The West Coast Main Line is one of the major trunk routes in Britain, an amalgam of some of the country’s oldest railways, including Stephenson’s London & Birmingham Railway and the Grand Junction Railway. David Packer illustrates the full variety of motive power, as well as a wealth of other trains, both passenger and freight, which used the same spectacular line.

<p>The Earth has Three Colors is an illustrated book about Moroccan ceramics, both the past, the present and the future. The title refers to the fact that red, grey and white clay have all been used at different times in Morocco. The book has ten chapters, covering different major areas of ceramic activity, some well-known and some less so. It is a lavishly illustrated, hardbound art book with museum quality images of the ceramics, photographs of studios and hand drawn maps by the author: think intelligent but not dry, sexy and stylish. It is written in English and French and will appeal to a broad range of readers, those who know about ceramics and those who want to know more, ranging from the traditional to the contemporary, from the prehistoric to the sophisticated.</p>
