Women are not noted for their interest in transport and technology subjects (for example, how many of the NZRLS members are women - 20, 30 out of 900?). Often they do not appreciate why enthusiasts like to see details of vehicles. If you are going to going to put big vehicle portraits in a book, why design it so that a significant amount of them disappear down the gutter? Did you not consider that with a book of this many pages and a hard cover that would happen?<br />We simply see no need for a rehash of information that has been extensively covered in many other books, including as you know, Sean Miller's own "From A to Y avoiding I" which this is simply an expansion of.<br />In itself a big book of locomotive pictures that haven't been published before, would be fine, and if they are portraits then landscape format is what should have been used.<br />Your magazine has given us some ratshit reviews, now you know what it's like to receive some criticism for a change.
