Review title: Can The Railway Series Get Some Respect?
Product review: A nice idea, putting a bunch of the Railway stories into a single volume. But in order to do this, they have to shrink, crop, zoom and slice up all the great illustrations, which I find to be much of the appeal of these books. The stories are charming but, let's face it - the writing has always been more or less serviceable, and the illustrations really help to make the characters pop. It's not difficult to track down the individual books in this series, with full-sized images, on the cheap. It would be nice if the publisher made it easier by keeping them all in print, but I think they enjoy pushing the newer books that are more closely tied to the TV series and toy line.It's worth noting that the text is changed ever-so-slightly too, mostly for political correctness and consistency with the show.
