It has a good selection of Model Engineer publications in hard back volumes, tied up volumes and loose editions. Plus bound and loose editions of Engineering in Miniature, Engineers Workshop, Garden Railway, Model Railways and Technical magazines. Numerous engineering and railwayana referenced hard backed books and DVDs, also a selection of fiction novels (girly books). An Aladdins cave of readable matter, well worth a visit, you might find something interesting or what you've been looking for for ages. There's a load of magazines ready to be recycled (burnt), if you want to go through them, you're quite welcome, take them away but DON'T bring them back. See Peter or Richard about loan terms. Donation of books etc. with in reason, but NO M.E.
