Hillside Books
Hillside Publishing was formed
over 20 years ago, and in our early days produced the first full length photo
album on the Manx Electric Railway, and a definitive history of the Manx
Northern Railway. More recently, we have worked with other publishers in the
book field, and offer two recent titles on the Isle of Man in our current
range.

Rails in the IOM £14.99 B2
Century Manx Transport £18.99
B1 RAILS in the ISLE OF MAN - A Colour Celebration £14.99
Robert Hendry
Released in 1993, “Rails in the Isle of Man” became a best seller
with over 1,500 copies sold in the Island in 1993 alone. By 1995 the book was
out of print, but because the Colour Artwork had been damaged a reprint was not
economical. We have a limited number
of copies available for sale, and when they’re gone, they’re gone This 96 page book with 260 views focuses on
the steam and electric railways of the Isle of Man, the Douglas horse trams,
and the associated bus services, with coverage of smaller systems such as Groudle Glen and the Queens
Pier. The illustrations do not duplicate material in “A Century of Manx
Transport”. Author signed
