They look good.
I dont think they are available now unfortunately.
If you are able to post a few pictures that would be great.

As mentioned to John, we do not want to run foul of copyright law and have requested that no more pictures of these books get posted.
Whilst I cannot see any issues with a couple of pages from books being posted as reference material - especially if the books are out of print or hard to obtain - I think we need to draw the line here.

I have been in touch with the author to see if he would consider another run of his books. Will keep you posted.

I'd be very interested in another run of these books; a friend and I were discussing source books for the UC and these are particularly difficult
to find over here in the colonies. The proverbial hen's teeth as it were.

Was there ever any traction made with this? I've been thinking the UC is the next model I want to have a go at and would like good reference books
to consult with.

In lieu of these what's the next best bet for source material? I'm sure there considerable sources on the 'net but nice to have a good book or two to get a general idea.

The last contact that we had with Nigel was almost a couple of years ago - he was going to talk to his publishers at some point, but don't know what, if anything, came of it.

I should have added - Nigel Watson is a member of this forum, so you could try sending him a PM.
