I am considering purchase of a new book on Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft by P.D.Stemp advertised on ebay. A4 size x 70 pages for £9.50 (incl p&p) sounds good.
This is what it says:

One of a series of twenty books on British Aviation ( Makers & Manufacturers ).
Published ( 2010 ) by Lulu – This a seventy page A4 paperback book, with black & white pictures.
Individual details of around one hundred and forty four aircraft, including projects.
One hundred and twenty black & white pictures. + Fifty four plan diagrams.
Books show in most cases :-
Pictures – Plans – A few skeletal details – Type of power unit – Construction materials – Weights – Dimensions – Performance ( speeds altitude climb rate ) – First flights – Squadron allocations – Serial numbers – Locations ++
ARMSTRONG WHITWORTH – were one of the early pioneering companies of aviation in Great Britain, at the early part of the 20th. century.
This is a comprehensive study of this British aircraft manufacturer.
004 – Any profit from this book will go to a Wildlife Conservation Project.

Has anyone seen any of these 20 books – are they any good?

Kites, Birdsand Stuff – Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft – by P.D.Stemp.
Yo Roger,
What can I say.
I am the author of the said books.
If you were to read the messages left by those who have purchased my books ( e.bay ) it may give you some idea.
– or –
Contact me directly on – [email]kitesbirdsnstuff@btinternet.com[/email] – and I will endeavour to assist you.
If you ask for a page on a certain aircraft ( ie :- Armstrong Whitworth Apollo ) I will only be to happy to send you one, as a preview.
The controller of North Repps Aerodrome ( Chris Gurney ) is impartial and has reviewed some of my work.
I feel sure he may give you some idea of their content.
( [email]chris@northreppsaerodrome.co.uk[/email] )
– or –
Buy one, as they say – it is what it says.
It has taken me over fifty years to finally produce my books.
As you can imagine the research details, time, layouts, formats – everything I have done by myself ( t-raaaahhhh ).
It has taken awhile and it is brand new to the World.
Like it or not there it is – draw your own conclusions.
Regards,
P.D.Stemp.
