Out of curiosity, I have just been prompted by the above to count up all the engineering books on my bookshelves.

Including all of those mentioned above………..97.

I think I am a bit of an engineering book magpie .

99…..I just found two more in the workshop!

I might have to buy one more, to make it a round 100

The Model Engineer magazine must have many articles aimed at beginners. Could not these be gathered together into a book or a special issue magazine ?
