Encyclopedia of Modern Photography by Michael Freeman 1987
One of the most comprehensive surveys of equipment techniques and applications of photography ever published.  It is also a thoroughly practical guide to the photographer's craft.  Emphasis is very much on the effective use of equipment and materials.  This example is in pristine condition, the jacket is unmarked (apart from one very small bump on the rear top edge) and it is unclipped. The text block edges are clear white and does not show that it has ever been read.

How to go Railway Modelling by Norman Simmons 3rd Edition, reprint, 1980
All you need to know in order to begin railway modelling as a serious and absorbing hobby is contained within the pages of this book.
Railway Modeller described the first edition as 'a textbook of permanent value' and this new, completely revised, reset and updated version, which contains entirely fresh pictures, will be equally valuable to all of today's newcomers to this pastime. It covers topics such as choice of site, layout planning and building, deciding upon scale and gauge, electrical equipment, track laying, scenic settings, locomotives, rolling stock and operating techniques.  It is a thoroughly practical handbook for all ages. Fine condition in a foil outer jacket; it has not been attached to the book in any way but has afforded protection from new, unclipped and, as far as I can detect, totally unmarked on all of its 216 pages - a treasure!
