I started The Complete Book of Model Railroading on a Tuesday and finished it on a Wednesday, and my sleep schedule is filing a complaint. David Sutton has a wicked sense of when to end a chapter. The ending's a little silly. Perfect for readers who love a page-turner, skip if you hate cliffhangers.

Kept me hooked in one sitting, and I didn't even notice the coffee went cold. The Complete Book of Model Railroading has that great low hum of tension, and David Sutton never lets it drop. The ending is a touch abrupt, no lie. Perfect for a lazy Saturday, skip if you hate a quick wrap-up.

Sutton explores the ins and outs of model railroading to include equipment, design, space, and time. I feel that this is a good foundation for someone interested in assuming the hobby.
