## Description

Train: The Definitive Visual History [DK, Smithsonian Institution] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Train: The Definitive Visual History

Review: Book for our train lover - This is a book for adults but our five-year-old grandson is obsessed by trains, and this is an amazingly comprehensive and visually beautiful book which he will enjoy for years. He never gets tired of having it read to him and the pictures are beautiful. From the Smithsonian Museum, this book should delight the enthusiast. I’m super glad I found it for him. He stopped opening gifts to “read” this book. Enough said.
Review: Enjoyable picture book - A lovely picture book that is well laid out. I liked the little shadows under each train against the white page to add a sense of weight. I did this on the 10 inch tablet and the print was just big enough for these old eyes, so wouldn't recommend the digital version on anything smaller. The layout is retained from the print book so you can't pop out the pictures to full screen, but pinching and sliding works well enough. Many pages feature half a dozen or more trains with a little heading paragraph about the category and some information about each one. This is more of a picture book than a reference book on these pages which form most of the book. There are expanded sections about individual trains and lines that are quite interesting with a fair amount of text and lots of lovely pictures. This is a take your time book that does require lots of zooming on the digital version. Worth the time and effort for a pleasant experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous, vibrant, colorful and detailed book!
*by A***E on March 13, 2021*

I got this book for my dad for his birthday. He loves it! It is a gorgeous book. The photos are vibrant and colorful. It’s also a lot bigger than I expected! Which is great! He can’t wait to read it. He’s starting to get more into collecting train stuff and building a setup in his basement. So this is perfect for him to reference! Definitely recommend!
