The Poster to Poster series is a nine-volume definitive collection of British railway posters which showcases many of the railway posters from the National Railway Museum at York and other museums and galleries. Each volume is a mixture of travel documentary, geographical and historical study, graphic artists' reference and poster database - all interlinked using the central theme of railway posters.

In Volume 7 we take a journey through the West Country and the Channel Islands using many images unique to this series. The result is a stunning artistic guide to both the glorious South West and its railway poster heritage. The TV personalities and Book Club hosts Richard and Judy have written the Foreword.

'…wonderful posters, lovingly put together in this beautiful series of books.' Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan, TV’s Richard and Judy

 ‘As with the other six volumes this one does not disappoint. Superb illustrations with a very interesting text. If you've not got the other volumes try this one for a starter, you'll be hooked. Would make a lovely present...R.G. Abbott

Brilliant book. Comprehensive coverage of West Country locations of posters. Especially liked the very informative information accompanying the posters. A really first class high quality volume.’ Malcolm
