Station to Station

Rating:
Summary: An excellent, well illustrated book.
Review: I found Station to Station to be an excellent broad work on the topic. I felt that while it didn't spend too much time on any particular station, it did give good detail on most all major stations of architectural value, including the somewhat obscure. All in all, a book worth reading.

Summary: A triumphal survey of, and tribute to, the railway station
Review: Steven Parissien's Station To Station is a triumphal survey of, and tribute to, the railway station. This wonderfully illustrated history of the life and architecture of the railway station examines these structures and the events (both fictional and real) that have occurred within them, as well as how they have formed an integral part of the growth, development, and "personalities" of the cities they have served over the past 150 years. From such early provincial and colonial railways such as the Victorian Gothic of London's St. Pancras and the Beaux-Arts splendor of grand Central Station in New York, to the modern structural marvels of the Waterloo International Terminal and the Lyon Satolas Station, this impressive compendium draws upon archive pictures, railway ephemera, and new photographs to augment an informative text that will prove very welcome reading for railroad buffs and architectural students.
