What's going on with Lindsay? I no longer get catalogs of his reprinted books and his web site has changed drastically.

Dunno about the website, but I've gotten a catalog, ordered, and gotten my books all within the last few weeks. And catalogs were arriving every few months IIRC, even though I don't order from every catalog, maybe skipping two or three between orders.

It looks the same (bad) now as it did last year, Bob. Did you want the Gingery page?

Last Lindsey catalog I got had a note on it to the effect of "Buy something or we won't send you another catalog".

If I didn't have a current catalog, I would work from the "Books Now In Stock" page, since it was updated just four days ago:

Thanx all! (esp to Mike) Temporarily consumed with the DA, I was entering the wrong URL. I was spelling out "books" rather than abbreviating as in

Of course there really is such a site dealing in old books, among other things; so my confusion was compounded. All is well with the world, now. I can get in to Lindsay's site. FWIW, I was looking there to see if Lindsay did a reprint of "A Catechism of the Steam Engine" as is available on line from Michigan Univ. I saw a link to it in an earlier post on RCM - sorry I can't recall the name now, but thanx anyway. Actually I found a lot of reprints of "A Catechism of the Steam Engine" available from Abe Books and others for around $20 - $30. Also found some handsomely priced originals of this mid 1800's tome. One was $265 from a used book dealer - the add was almost apologetic because the dust cover was missing.
How so?
