SP&S book "The Northwest's Own Railway" missing pages?

  • After many years I just acquired the book "The Northwest's Own Railway,  Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway and its Subsidies" volume 1, by Walter R. Grande.

  • My copy is the same. 

    The pages are out of order.

    Follow this sequence:  page 29->page 32->page 30->page 35->page36-------->

    I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

    I don't have a leg to stand on.

  • Thanks.  I never thought to read ahead and find where it picked up again.  I just stopped at the first error in a panic.
