British Planemakers from 1700. 3rd Edition Currently out of print. A 4th edition is on its way, but is unlikely to be completed for a couple of years yet. |
In addition to these, I have written the introductions to a number of reprint catalogues and edited and contributed to other publications, which can be found on my other publications page.
