Churnet Valley Railway
 
Robert Keys
1975
Moorland Publishing.
Paperback.
84 pages, ? x ? inches, £4.85 (Amazon)

A good balance of text (facts and details) and images of key features of the line and particular usage, e.g. excursion trains to Alton Towers etc. The only slight criticism is there are too many photos of Leek locations and not enough of Uttoxeter at one end of the line.
