Mainline & Maritime
Mainline & Maritime was founded by the owners, Iain & Sarah-Jane McCall, in response to what they perceived as a distinct narrowing of the range of railway and maritime books being published. They publish a diverse selection of books with a broad appeal - from those with a casual interest in the subject matter, to the serious enthusiast looking for detailed information.
