A Brit retired to USA returned to his teenage passion - UK railways, with a particular affection for the Ian Allan ABC series and Platform 5 publications. I have a complete collection of their spotters books from 1942. I restore ABCs and am an enthusiastic ebay buyer of old Ian Allan railway books. I started to sell restored copies in January 2011. I make no claims about their investment value although I hope they will come to be regarded as great value budget items for collectors. I lovingly restore them. I will cannibalize old copies and replace damaged pages. Quality restored editions are very pleasing to own and to handle without fear of spine damage and they come with the option to return them in a timely manner for a full refund. I have restored over 220 with 100% satisfaction as at the end of January 2022. My interest extends to old Ian Allan jigsaws, including IA and Ponda, so if you have any for sale, please contact me.
