This is from the current owners of the hobbies, note the added bit of 'always' which was added when the company had new owners a couiple of years ago.
Hopefully the book is in stock, it's a fantastic read |

Looks like a good read! Would be well worth buying to read about the bowman and mamod models

I've got that book and to be honest the bit about steam is only a couple of pages. The book is mostly about the history of the company. It is interesting but is mostly about 'fret saws' (coping saws when I was younger).
With my new found scanning skills, I could always copy the few pages about Bowman Jenkins and Malins (far less than 10% of book) if people don't want to bother buying.
Let me know.

Ok, going to try and do pages in the shared information bit. Whole book is 128 pages but the toy steam bit is only 7 pages.
