TORNADO: 21ST CENTURY STEAM
Support The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, solve a Christmas gift problem and save money!
It¹s the perfect Christmas gift for a relative or friends - the long-awaited 'Rolls-Royce' book on No. 60163 Tornado. Described by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust as 'the definitive work', it has already been hailed as the railway book of the year, and promises to introduce Tornado to a new worldwide audience. A substantial contribution from the sale of each book sold has been pledged to The A1 Trust, and we are delighted to announce that we have secured a 10% discount off the listed price for you - a full £2.50.
The book, which carries a warm endorsement for our project from the Prince of Wales, is a lavishly-illustrated 208-page work that has been painstakingly researched by long-standing A1 supporter, best-selling author and "Guardian" columnist Jonathan Glancey. A1 Trust Chairman Mark Allatt has also penned the foreword. Simply go onto the website www.tornadothebook.com and enter the special code OTBK.
Something Extra Special
Even more exciting - and destined to become collectors' items in years to come - are a special run of just 163 signed copies one for every A1, A3 and A4. They are bound in an exclusive oatmeal cloth. A total of 161 of these books come with an individually numbered certificate signed by Jonathan Glancey, Chief Engineer David Elliott, and A1 Trust Vice-President Malcolm Crawley. They are priced at just £50, with a much larger donation due to the Trust. Many of these highly sought-after books have already been sold, but you can secure your copy by going on to the website www.tornadothebook.com and entering the special code OSPL. The numbered books still available are listed on this site.
The Ultimate Book
Finally, for someone really special, we have the ultimate Christmas gift Book No. 1 and Book No. 163.
No. 1 and No. 163 are bound in a unique amethyst cloth and come with a numbered certificate that is signed by our President Dorothy Mather. Only two of these books will ever exist. Bids (guide price over £500) will be accepted with a direct e-mail to publisher Howard Johnston at howard@booksontrack.com
