    There always used to be a shop in London which dealt exclusively
    with avaition books. The shop's name was Beaumont Aviation. Since
    I have no magazines or references available, perhaps another UK
    noter can give further details.

934.2an aviation book finder!WRASSE::FRIEDRICHSNever trust a premi!Wed Jun 28 1989 12:4025
    Well, I got a catalog the other day that specializes in ..
    
    	"Out of print Aviation, Space and Weather Books"
    
    		Winston R. Dole
    		92 Church Street
    		Merrimac, MA 01860
    		508-346-4312
    
    He states he does NOT have a retail shop.  No credit cards...  You 
    call or send a list of what you want, they tell you if they still have
    it and how much and hold the book for you.  You send them a check..
    
    *They also do searches for books* (Maybe he can find some of the books
    listed in .0!)
    
    He has some series sets as well, for $240 you can get the complete set
    of Aircraft Profiles, No 1-132, plus $5.00 for most of no. 133-204.;
    and sets of cross and cockade.
    
    I will let you all know how this works out...
    
    cheers,
    jeff

    As a favor to the AerMacchi Co. that has recently supplied me with
    invaluable material (see the note in 272 that describes what I got
    from them), they requested that I located the following book for them.
    
    	Italian Civil and Military Aircraft 1930-1945 by J. Thompson.
    
    If you know where I can find a copy of this book, please let me know.
    
    Thanks,
