About this episode

This episode reviews the cult classic book about Railway Telegraph Insulators and explores the author's passion for the subject.

Have YOU ever wanted a Railway Telegraph Insulator but been unable to satisfy that craving? Interesting review Despite the title this is not a joke book. The author is serious about his passion. Indeed in the preface he explains that he couldn't understand why he could not find a girl friend when he was a young man. This book has become a cult classic and becoming quite hard to obtain therefore likely to become a collectors item if there are no reprints Book Related Website Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-reads--6173738/support .
