Morining Sun Books |

Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun May 11 10:37:45 2025 Morning Sun Books has ceased publishing printed books as of November 2024. They are continuing to produce e-books. I do not know how many books they have published but their body of work forms a comprehensive encyclopedia of mainline and traction railroading from 1950 up to 2024. The last price increase was about two years ago and the individual coast of a book was about $80. Even with a discount from Ron's this was somewhat high for many readers. The cost of printing and shipping has risen considerably. Nevertheless I would like to thank the president of Morning Sun Book, Mr Robert Yanosey for the many fine books that I have in my collection.

Their books always were consistently high quality productions, even their paperbacks.I'm old school, and there is just something special about an actual book that I just can't get from an e book. They'll be missed. |
