### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting looking book.

The book only arrived today but is in good condition and looks to be full of good information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for beginners
*by M***K on 22 October 2001*

I love the writing style and humour of Tubal Cain. The book is a good introduction for anyone wanting to build steam engines. If you are a raw beginner in Model Engineering some parts can be a little hard to understand, but you don't have to be a pro to get enjoyment from the book. Some of the designs use castings which might not be available any more. However, the parts could be machined instead. A very enjoyable read.
