Facsimile available on DVDs
The entire newspaper going back to volume 1 is available as facsimile copies over 14 DVDs, with the benefit of searching the full text of the publication. DVDs are £18 each or £216 for the set saving an extra £36. Reduced for members of the Society for the History of Astronomy or the Society of Ornamental Turners to £14 each or £168 for the set. This price allows you to copy the DVDs onto a single computer for access by one person at a time.
For institutions I can offer a multiple user/computer licence for £40 per DVD or £480 the set which includes an external hard disk with the DVDs pre-loaded.
These DVDs can be obtained direct for the publisher, contact enquiry@englishmechanic.com for details.
