Facsimile Army, Navy & India Lists on CD

If you can find a copy, the "Postcards from the Past" books (Sigma press I think) make superb presents. I have a few for Cheshire & Staffordshire.

Hi KathHale,
I was just looking at www.books.mysic.ca.
It would appear to be part of Amazon.com & I assume
it's in Canada. If you enter staffordshire in the search
box you will find some interesting books. Unfortunately
you will also have to wade through dozens of books on
dogs. It might though give you some ideas. If you can find
the publishers names, pop them in the Google search for
their web address.

Hi KathHale,
I have just looked at www.Amazon.co.uk.
There are 1562 entries for books on Staffordshire.
I have spotted some quite good ones & I've only
looked at the 1st 100 entries. When I've a minute
I am going to look at them all.
Hope you find a good one too.

Hi Kathhale,
Amazon probably tailor their stock to fit their regional markets.
Some months ago I was trying to find "The Machine Breakers" by Jill Chambers and found that it was not on their N. American website, though it was listed on the one in the U.K.
Try the British site and you will probably find the treasures our friends are promising.

GET STUCK IN...

This might be just the ticket:
http://www.thebookshopleek.co.uk/. This is an online bookshop in Stanely Street, Leek. They have many Staffordshire local history books, published under the title Churnet Valley Publications. They have an ecclectic range of books relating to Staffordshire. Here are some examples - "The Distinctive Surnames of North Staffordshire"; "East Staffordshire Archive Photographs" (Tempus Publishing); "Famous Women of North Staffordshire; "Finding Susanna"; "A Duration Man: Staffordshire Soldier in the Great War"; "A History of Leek"; "Leek Trade Bills"; "Staffordshire Legends"; "Staffordshire Moorlands". They also have "Around Leek in Old Photographs" (Sutton Publishing). There appear to be a series of books called "Spirit of Leek, Landmark Collector's Library". They also have secondhand books.
The following two companies are good:
http://www.tempus-publishing.com
This company publishes the "Images of England" series, which typically have 200 old photographs of an area. The only one relating to Leek was about the Leek and Manifold Light Railway. There were more general Staffordshire books, though.
http://www.phillimore.co.uk
This company publishes "A History of Staffordshire" and "The Domesday Book: Staffordshire".
