Tim Harding's Bibliography

By now I have well over 30 titles to my name, several written with co-authors. The majority are no longer in print. In all cases I have retained the electronic rights and am considering how best to use these.

I have listed the books I have written in reverse order, recent ones first. Most of the older ones were published by B.T.Batsford of London; I have only named the publisher where it was different.
