Railways
We stock new and out of print books about any sort of railway - British railways old and new, overseas railways, industrial railways, tramroads, interurbans, underground railways, narrow gauge railways, miniature railways and model railways.

The mainstay of our regular stock is railway company histories, line and local histories, locomotive development and engineering histories, and the ever-popular photographic compilations of all descriptions. There are also biographies and memoirs of railwaymen, studies of operation and train running and of other railway basics such as rolling stock, civil and mechanical engineering and architecture. We have works on railway law and economics and a smattering of fiction and poetry.

In addition to all this we have an enormous stock of railway periodicals - bound and in unbound sets: see the Magazine And Journals page. We also stock public and working timetables, both British and foreign.
Our holdings are now beyond counting but probably add up to over 30,000 volumes. We are often asked if we have a catalogue of it all, or whether it is all "on the computer". The answer to both questions is a heartfelt No! We aim to sell them faster than we could list them. We buy them, sort them, put them on the shelves and leave the rest to our customers. However what we do have is:

Aviation
We have a medium stock of out of print books on aviation, both civil and military.

Maritime
We stock out of print books on naval and merchant shipping. These include coastal shipping, docks and harbours and the occasional work on yachting.

Road Transport
We have a small stock of commercial steam and internal combustion road transport and agricultural traction and machinery. We do not stock private motoring or motorcycling and no longer have a bus section; our few remaining bus books are listed under Miscellany in the Secondhand Showcase (but see the London section, below).

Inland Waterways
Out of print works on river and canal transport.

Industrial History
Out of print books on industrial and commercial history.

London
As a memorial to our friend Peter Bancroft, who was an expert on the transport history of London and had been compiling a bibliography on the transport of Greater London in the years preceding his early death in June 2004, we have set up a London section covering all road and rail public transport of Greater London.
