I’ve made reference in posts to several of the Blandford series of books over the years. I have mine gathered in one shelf within easy reach of my painting table. Here are all 43 of them, inevitably sharing space with various terrain bits and a few figures, including a 1/32 gorilla. Don’t ask.
I used to have rather more but I’ve hung on only to the military(ish) stuff. I gave the car and rail related books to a local RMBI care home which particularly wanted books on these subjects for a couple of residents.
To save your eyes I also photographed the books in batches. Let me know in a comment if you’d like to see more of any particular volume. All but three are hardbacks and I don’t think more than half a dozen were bought new.

I love "The Thunder Box" Tim! You did a great job creating that model! Any other pictures from that book would be appreciated!
Cracking books , they have stood the test of time !
I was using one of mine today. They certainly helped get me into doing wargaming "right".
These kinds of idiots! Scroll down;

I have a lot of Blandfords as well. Always useful and inspiring to look through...
An enviable reference section- I have a few myself.
Cheers,
Pete.
Wonderful to see these old favourites, full of information and inspiration, a bit like ourselves?
I have had many on and off over the years, many succumbed to house moves and downsizing.
That's a great looking collection, Tim. I saw a couple of intriguing titles there that I'm now off to search the web for.
