Oh, I know of Lindsay Books. In England, there's a company called 'Camden 
Miniature Steam Services' who sell all sorts of interesting books, mostly 
on steam engines and railways (not a great interest of mine), but enough 
books on real radio, electical stuff, horology, general engineering, etc 
that I've spent a small fortune with them over the years. They sell many, 
but not all, of the Lindsay books.

FWIW, I have nothing but praise for the service I've received from 
Camden's. In all my orders they've made just one mistake (2 books with 
exactly the same title. they sent the wrong one). And they put it right 
with no fuss. 

I am not sure how many of these are actually Lindsay books, but I've 
bought reprints of books on short-wave radio from the 1930s, books on 
making electric clocks, telescopes, cameras, etc. Books of general 
workshop hints and tips (and to be honest, if I use just one of the tips 
from such a book I've probably recovered the cost). Books on lathe 
operation. And many more....
