Bibliography |
The information contained in this site has been obtained from many sources. Listed below are the principle books to which the main references come from. The books marked '#' are in my possession whereas those marked 'F' are facsimile copies only. I am happy to provide information from these on request. E-mail your queries using the Feedback page.
Many good reference books are out of print however, in utilising the excellent UK inter-library loan facility, I have managed to access many of these. If you enquire at your local lending library they will be able to help source these rarer books. (All published books with an ISBN number, and most of those without, are held at the British Library).
The list is by no means definitive but will be updated regularly. If you have any of the books not marked '#' and would be willing to sell them to me, please contact me with your price.
