COMING SOON!

Old Snowdonia
by Bernard Byrom
Scheduled for early summer . Some of Wales' most spectacular scenery is to be found around Snowdonia and this collection of photographs more than does it justice. Insightful captioning as always from Bernard Byrom.

Kilmarnock Then and Now
by David Pettigrew
Scheduled for May. The fourth in our photographic comparison series, David Pettigrew takes a look at the changes the years have wrought in the ancient Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock.

The Pleasures of the Firth – Two Hundred Years of Clyde Steamers, 1812 – 2012
by Andrew Clark
Scheduled for June. A much anticipated and beautifully photographed history of these iconic and much loved vessels. Hardbound to become a treasured volume and due to be completed for a summer launch.

Questing for Britain’s Ideal LIGHT AEROPLANE
by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume
Scheduled for mid-summer. A surprise gem from Arthur about the early 20th century light aeroplane trials at Lympne aerodrome in Kent. Having subtitled the book, The Infamous Lympne Trials of the 1920s, Arthur, with his usual insight leads us to the reality of their contribution to British light aviation.

The Railways of North Western Rhodesia (and more)
by Gordon Shepherd
Scheduled for early 2012. This is a working title and may change but a quick read of the text gives a fascinating insight into the people and places along the colonial rail routes before independent Zambia was born. This will be of great interest to colonial historians and rail enthusiasts alike.

Burns and Ayrshire
by David Williams
Coming early in 2012 A new Burns book is always an event worthy of attention, which is why we added this to our ‘Coming Soon’ list well ahead of time. The make-up of the book is still in design so we do not even have a confirmed price but judging from the wealth of first class material we have seen so far it will be well worth the wait and may even run to more than a single volume. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and this site for more news.
