Stirling Engine Manual Vol 2
"Whilst the first volume was intended as an introduction to
the whole subject of Stirling Cycle engines and models, the aim of this new
volume is to take the model engineer to a point where he can build engines
with real power potential. 'Fun' engines are not ignored, but the intention
is to introduce the model maker to more advanced engines, which are described
in detail, and also give a solid basis for further experimentation." 
If you've seen Volume One, then you know what this is about. More goodies. Definitely an engine builder should have! This is a large A4 size hardcover (just like volume one) with over 150 pages and includes a section of color photographs. Get a copy!
