George Sellios, founder of Fine Scale Miniatures, wrote and published this book, "The Fabulous Franklin & South Manchester Railroad" in 1991. In 79 pages, it describes, and shows numerous pictures of, the incredible 23' x 42' layout he built on the second floor of the Fine Scale Miniatures factory. The cover says Volume 1, so perhaps he later published more books like this.
While the trains are HO scale, the modeling ideas and techniques he describes in detail apply in any scale, and on page 34, there is a billboard advertising the early American Flyer trains before Gilbert bought the company.
The price on the cover is $19.95. I would call it mint condition. Make offer.
