    Book of the Week - Searching for Railway Telegraph Insulators
    Jun 13 2026
    Have YOU ever wanted a Railway Telegraph Insulator but been unable to satisfy that craving?

    Interesting review
    Despite the title this is not a joke book. The author is serious about his passion. Indeed in the preface he explains that he couldn't understand why he could not find a girl friend when he was a young man. This book has become a cult classic and becoming quite hard to obtain therefore likely to become a collectors item if there are no reprints
