I'd say include the most colorful and interesting photos in a color section, and the all black and white CN consists and striped units in a black and white section.

(Not as if anyone is going to be surprised by a purple and orange unit or something!!)<br /><br />You're right, though - this book will again be data-dense, and photos will be in the 'worth a thousand words' category but most assuredly NOT a coffee-table book. Mr. Holland has already done that for us!<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454619491426851131.post-40832186628904899062016-11-05T06:46:04.507-07:002016-11-05T06:46:04.507-07:00Given that your books are fairly data intensive, I...Given that your books are fairly data intensive, I would choose the black and white photos. For a "coffee table" / photo book I would think colour is a must, but yours are great in colour or in B&W.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.com
