This book is in sort of a good shape, but it do lacks the outer Blueish cover which all the Blue Books has. Also, the "new" front and back paper which is present has nearly come apart from the rest of the page with quite some tearing and some missing paper pieces, rest of the 80 pages is good; but has the "been in use" look with issues like; Paper Tear | Edge Wear | Smudges, Smears & Spots | Discoloration | Slightly Staple Rust | Thin Paper cause Bleeding from backside. This issue is the Volume 5, Number 5 and is dated August 1, 1905. It contains 84 numbered pages of ads, various railroads timetables, images and text for not only the Short Line, but most of the larger area extending to all of Colorado for some pieces of info.

The views are mostly from along the Short Line trip, and is mostly the same used over and over in the various issues of the Short Line Blue Book, but there are other views to, mostly from ads and other nice scenery items meant to showcase something.

I hope you enjoy sort of reading this book by browsing these images, as I do find enjoyment in the fact that I am able to share it here for all to see/find. After all, these books can be hard to find, and sometimes quite expensive! This issue was among those around the "not so costly" mark, but it did cost me USD 46.33 with shipping to Norway when I won this in an eBay listing January 2015.

-> Pieces from this book might appear in other sections of my site as text info.
