Bibliography

Reading List

This is only a small selection of the books available with work by Sir Edwin. Most are out of print but may be obtained through your library service. For second-hand copies try www.abebooks.co.uk or www.bibliofind.com. Some had very limited print runs - as few as 250 copies in some cases - so expect second-hand copies to reflect this.
