I do love the comment on the title page which says something like 'for engineers, mad scientists.. and very few normal people' :-) In the UK, look at Camden Miniature Steam Services. They sell Lindsay books, along with other reprints of old books, etc. Much of their stock (As the company name implies) is aimed at the model engineering crowd -- people who make small steam locomotives, etc. But there's plenty there to interest eccentrics like me too. The only complaint I have ever heard about Camden's is that if you order a book from them they send you their current booklist (catalogue). And you are sure to find 10 more books you want. They will end up bankrupting you :-). Seriosuly, they're a great company to deal with, they send the right books almost all the time, and when they did once make a mistake and sent me the wrong book (same title, different author), they put it right very quickly and without fuss. I've never read that series, but I've read plenty of other books by Dave and VInce Gingery. They're excellent. Very clearly written, and you get the impression that they've done the stuff described in the book, and you can do it too. -tony
