On the subject of bookshops, the well known Robert Humm in Stamford is retiring and winding down his business.

We are no longer open to casual callers but are happy to open by appointment.
We shall continue to open by appointment while we still have sufficient stock for it to be worthwhile.
The sale discounts still apply!
For an appointment e-mail books@roberthumm.co.uk, or try phoning 01780 766266, we are still often working around the shop

Web site sales - the end
Online sales are no longer possible. Almost all the books listed here are still available (if not marked SOLD) and can be ordered by e-mail or by visiting the shop by appointment. The site is being remodelled and should appear in its new form before the end of April.

Retirement Sale - All Stock Must Go
Thousands of good clean railway books, British and foreign, booklets, time tables, bound periodicals.
Sale discounts for customers visiting the shop:
Old and recent : 50% off marked prices
New : 25% off cover prices
Plus many special bargains.
