Book List – History

Bill was an avid book collector! I’ve compiled a list of his many books, both automotive and other.  I’m happy to accept any reasonable offer (money raised will go towards the cost of publishing the book), so if you are interested in any book(s), please contact me via Bill’s Earlswood Press email (bill@earlswoodpress.co.uk).  The aim is to sell as many of the books as I can, so even if you think your offer is low, please do contact me and I will consider.
