The cancellation of both the Midlands and London Model Engineering Exhibitions has left organiser Meridienne Exhibitions with rather a lot of time on its hands and company head Chris Deith tells us it has been put to good use undertaking a major tidy-up in sister company TEE Publishing's warehouse. TEE founded and published Engineering in Miniature magazine from its launch in 1979 to September 2016 when the magazine was acquired by current publisher the Warners Group. In sorting the thousands of books and magazines in the TEE warehouse Chris has realised just how wide is the range held of back issues and volumes of EIM, and other magazines that we hold. "Our stock covers both individual issues as well as bound and unbound volumes from the beginning almost up to the present day and we also have a substantial stock of back issues of other model engineering titles as well," Chris says. "In the past model engineers have tended to collect, for their own enjoyment, sets of model engineering magazines and this is still the case though to a lesser extent today," he adds. "Many people still prefer to sit and enjoy a book rather than scroll through the Internet and personally I derive more satisfaction from reading and relaxing with a book but then I'm perhaps old-fashioned - it is certainly the case that I'll never complete reading all that I have collected as you will appreciate having seen our library." As a result of the significant overstock at present TEE has decided to offer a 50 per cent discount on most of the unbound volumes of EIM, and also Model Engineer from the past 40 years.
