Have you checked out the SPOTLIGHT on researching whistles yet ?? Nice breakdown of Martin Gilchrist's books I think. We haven't really drawn attention to it, but we hope to have a few for sale here at The Whistle Galllery. Scarce as hens teeth as they are all three out of print now !!!
It's important to know becaaaaaause ?? Yep, there are no other books on whistles !!! Probably not going to be what with publishing costs and all.
There's another reason though. You might take note that the hardbound edition of Collecting Police Whistles and Similar Types was CO authored. Simon Topman was heavily involved in the contants and publishing.
Therefore many records were made available for the book and much of the copyrighted informationincluding stamps, registrations, patents, and references is from Hudson's whistles records. That doesn't come from wikipedia you know !!!
So that makes those books indispensible. They are a part of the tools needed for research. You can create your own library from there. Did you know that ?? Sure….
keep pictures
keep notes
do patent research
use the internet for personal copies
buy catalogs ( and share them with us 🙂
essentially creating your own references. We even do that with our whistles. All organized.
But you need those books !!!!!!!!
