Library
Use of our extensive library is available to members only in the UK. All of the books and journals listed are available from the Library. Photocopies of articles can be supplied at 10p per page plus postage. Bound copies of back numbers of TPO Journal are held in the Library, but owing to the fragile state of the earlier volumes they cannot be lent out, however articles from these volumes are available as photocopies. It is advisable to consult the 'Cumulative Index Volumes 1 - 50' in the first instance. An index to Volumes 51-55 is also available.
You may contact our Librarian by email:
Donations of material for the library are always gratefully received. Authors of articles, monographs or books are encouraged to send copies for review in TPO and for subsequent inclusion in the library of the Society. Suggestions from members regarding additions to the library are also welcome.
