UK Fathers Day is this Sunday and I've already had three presents from my Wife. All three were charity shop purchases.
Military Modelling Guide to Wargaming by Stuart Asquith, an ex-library copy first published in 1987. It will come as no surprise that I have seen and even read this book before, actually a library copy. An interesting read.
The other two gifts are these Shire Modelmakers Guides; Modelling Farm Carts and Modelling Farm Wagons both by John Vince, published in 1977. Another two ex-library books, this time from the Christopher Whitehead School, Worcester.
Both are in very good condition and full of model making hints and tips. I think these have been re-bound as hard-backs, rather than the more usual card cover books.

Quite a haul! I've been looking for the Shire Modelmakers books myself but they are non-existent over here in Aus...
ReplyDeleteI know that many months ago I visited Hay on Wye - the second-hand book capital of the world, and there were loads of general Shire Books for sale.
ReplyDeleteHowever the Model Making books are very rare.
