We are pleased to announce a new facility for members of the Society. As a result of the Society placing advance quantity orders, members have been able to purchase books at very advantageous prices. In the past the publishing firm Ashgate has generously supplied many members with copies of 'Adams of Fleet Street' by John Millburn, 'Making Scientific Instruments in the Industrial Revolution' by Alison Morrison- Low and 'Jesse Ramsden' by Anita McConnell.

A further arrangement has now been made with Ashgate whereby other publications, not pre-ordered by the Society, may be purchased by members at specially discounted prices. A selection of books relevant to members' interests is listed on a special web site for Society members which has been set up by Ashgate here. Orders should be placed directly through this website using a special order code which will be mailed to members or can be obtained from the Society's Executive Officer. Full information is given in a flier accompanying the December Bulletin and there is a link from the Publications page on our own website.

It is intended to review and revise the list of selected books each year. In addition to the selected books listed on the web page, other works published by Ashgate may also purchased on line at discounted prices; for these see the main Ashgate web site.

The Society makes this arrangement on behalf of and for the benefit of members but it should be noted that all transactions are strictly between individual members and Ashgate. Postage costs are additional to the discounted prices.
