Engineering
We stock books on engineering both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering through a wide timeframe. Of course we always have a great variety of works from the Victorian heyday of engineering, a time when anything seemed achievable.
Please do have a look at our Engineering works. If something catches your eye, feel free to ask a question. If we don't have what you are looking for please contact us and we will keep an eye out for it for you.
We post out every day from our Georgian property in Bath Uk and post all over the world.
