Railway Problems An Inquiry into the Economic Conditions... By J.S. Jeans 1887

"Railway Problems An Inquiry into the Economic Conditions of Railway Working in Different Countries" by J.S. Jeans was published in 1887. It offers insight into the economic conditions of the railway industry in the United Kingdom and other countries during the late 19th century. It is in acceptable condition. I consider this book in acceptable and not good condition because of some partial internal separation of the front cover. Please see pictures for condition especially the last picture with the green pointy finger and reach out to me through eBay with any questions!
