For ferry enthusiasts in the 1960's and 1970's the definitive reference book was published by Clegg and Styring.   There were two editions - the first being produced in 1962 and costing 32s 6d.   It featured classic black and white photos of classic British Railways Steamers.   Nowadays Ferry Publications provide a wide range of material for enthusiasts and they plan to update the Clegg and Styring book in the near future.   Here's a selection from the original book.
