Our sizable inventory of top-quality books, magazines and “railroad items” has been refreshed via the gracious donations of our members; so be sure to come out and shop what is “new”. Titles cover U.S. and Canadian - railroading; industries; and some international titles. Numerous Morning Sun Titles. We have a collection of “classic” books, which are being offered for significantly less than current market prices e.g., Archer’s “Lehigh Valley Railroad”.
All ARHS’s in-stock books, HO-scale models, in-print copies of our flagship Flags, Diamonds, & Statues, and our extensive inventory of CDs featuring presentations from past ARHS conventions will be available. Our new reprint of the Reading Company’s “The Port Richmond Grain Elevator” for the ARHS Archives will be available.

As a continuation of a tradition, an ancillary activity to the Book Sale will be a bike ride on the near-by Delaware & Lehigh trail that comprises portions of the ex-Lehigh Valley mainline. Ride is expected to be 10 to 20 miles in length depending on participant's capabilities. After the ride, there should be plenty of time to go to the Book Sale. Interested parties should contact Steve Olear at: gronku2@yahoo.com.
