At the end of most railway trips I have compiled a book, for my own personal record. These usually include a selection of photos with the text from my blog. The text of each book can be previewed on the Bob Books platform using the links below.

I can’t claim that the photographs in these books are especially good, though I hope I continue to make progress and improve with each trip. In short – these books are in no way professional, featuring plenty of photographic repetition and no doubt many typos that have eluded me.
