Reference material?

[mahking51]

One for Alf I think!
Just tried to get a copy of Goodman on ebay and got sniped out.
Any thoughts where I might find a copy and what is a reasonable price?
Also I see references to BPM (Brit Plane Makers?), is this an online reference or a book, if a book, again where might I find a copy please?
Regards
Martin

Martin, I am not at all sure if the prices are reasonable Bookfinder.com

Martin,
Have you tried Roy Arnold? His shop is in fact being taken over by Mike Hancock and I am not sure what is happening to his books but between Mike and Roy you might well find a reprint.

Don't ask me, I went mad and bought it new :shock:

Hmm, so what are you looking at by Goodman? 'Cos he was the original author of British Planemakers from 1700, but really you want the revised edition by Jane and Mark Rees.

Cheers, Alf

I think the "current" edition is the third revision (Goodman being the original)

Bob Nelson says editions 1 & 2 are (effectively) no good:
