It took me 40 years to amass this collection, and it is especially relevant to optical designers. This is a one-off opportunity, as I am leaving the world of optics, and would like to see the library on the hands of those who would appreciate it.

Also not listed, and free, are numerous glass catalogues, product catalogues and academic reprints.

The books are at my home in Red Lion Square, WC1R 4SE. Email or ring on 07974059984 if you are interested. Sorry for the loss of formatting. If you contact me I will send you the list as an Excel spreadsheet.
