A Book Meme, from stevegreen, who got it from pigeonhed, who can’t remember where he got it from.

"List ten books you have which you think nobody else on your friends list might have."

I’ll try to limit myself to one book per subject and avoiding the Really Obscure (like the 40 volumes of Yeadon's Register of LNER Locomotives), in the interest of actually being wrong about some of these:

1. King of the Confessors, by Thomas Hoving
2. Jaguar Sports Racing & Works Competition Cars, by Andrew Whyte (2 vols)
3. Bloodwinter, by Tom Dietz
4. Bradshaw’s July 1938 Railway Guide (reprint)
5. I Saw The World End, by Deryck Cooke
6. Watt’s Perfect Engine, by Ben Marsden
7. Veeck as in Wreck, by Bill Veeck and Ed Linn
8. Coots in the North and other stories, by Arthur Ransome
9. The Inside Story of KZ-7, by Alan Sefton
10. The Trigan Empire, by Don Lawrence.

I have King of the Confessors. Used it as a jumping off place for a paper in college, iirc. Mum had Veeck as in Wreck on her shelves until she moved into an apartment and had to disperse many of her books.
