About meProgrammer by profession, accountant by education, historian by avocation
About my libraryIf a book is about a ship (warship or ocean liner) or an aircraft, heavier-than air (I prefer 'burning (jet) to turning (propeller)') or lighter-than-air, I'll buy it or at least add it to my to-buy list. History is also a weakness especially the American Civil War, the Byzantine Empire, the Middle East and modern (post-nineteenth century) naval warfare.
I did read science fiction more but have gotten out of the habit.

Thank you for the welcome
Only done a couple of shelves, some dozen or so to go, but along ways behind yourself.
Used to life west of Cleveland OH, a couple of years ago, so we were almost neighbours lol
Kind Regards
Andy

This is about the 'Series' identifications for the Essential Identification Guides (for Aircraft, Car, Submarine, Tank and Vehicle), by Amber Books. I am new to the 'Series' concept. I don't want to adversely affect anyone else. I have made some changes to the 'Series', under 'Common Knowledge' for some of my books. I may have affected your data. The series is 'Amber Books - Essential Identification Guides'. I have place the type (aircraft, vehicle, etc.) in the sequence area.
Please let me know your thoughts. I am very willing to make any changes needed.
This is being sent to members 'mayreh' and 'surly',
