The book is a passionate piece of advocacy - for St Pancras as an expression of that time, and for its future role. It is part of a series of volumes which will also encompass St Peter's in Rome, the Taj Mahal and the Parthenon. You finish the book more than half-convinced that St Pancras belongs alongside such wonders. That is a tribute to the vigour of the writing and to the enduring relevance of the station itself.
When the book was re-issued in March 2011 it was updated and tells the story of the station's transformation in the twenty-first century and the reopening of the Midland Grand Hotel as the St Pancras Renasissance Hotel.
