The RAILWAYS OF GREAT BRITAIN - A HISTORICAL ATLAS

Not exactly a cheap deal this one, but wwwIanAllanPublishingcom are selling the last few copies of this amazing 2-volume atlas for £150. Not the cheapest publication I admit, but following the author's recent death (Colonel Michael H Cobb), the value of the atlas is about to rocket.
One of the nice ladies that work at Ian Allan's mail order office told me that they only have about 50 copies left and that they will probably only last for another week or so.

Thanks Marty-401, but Smith's shouldn't even be advertising this as the publisher doesn't sell this title to the trade. Anyway, I think the Smith's one is the older first edition.
