Little Imp Suite of Books and Catalogues on Microscopes / Microscopy Courtesy of Steve Gill, and hosted on Microscopy-UK. |
Introduction.
The Little Imp suite of CDs offered a wide variety of hard to source microscope / microscopy related catalogues and selected books from the public domain. Meticulously compiled by Steve Gill, they were formerly sold by Savona Books owned by Bill Krause who has offered a splendid service over the years to many and who specialised in microscopy and related topics. Savona Books has now closed and Steve has generously offered the Little Imp suite to Microscopy-UK to host.
The 66 CDs can be freely downloaded below and are loosely grouped into Books and Catalogues, each in alphabetical order of either author or microscope maker. The original CD format of indexed web pages linking to page images has been retained, so each CD is offered as a zip file. Each can be downloaded and unzipped in a dedicated folder on a local PC.
To view, look for an index.html file in the root directory (ignore any autorun or executable files which were designed to run with a CD). The CD contents will be viewed within the default web browser. The table with descriptions below are from Steve Gill's original index of the suite.
Polite reminder: Please do not abuse Steve's generosity. These files are for personal use only and must not be further distributed or hosted online elsewhere without Steve Gill's permission. Under no circumstances should they be offered for sale either singly or as compilations. Thank you.
If any problems please contact the Micscape Editor, David Walker.
Acknowledgement. Many thanks to Steve Gill for his generosity in offering the suite and for patiently zipping and uploading each file.
Note that each zip file can be very large, typically tens or hundreds of Mbytes (all < 300 Mb each).
If click a link most browsers should directly download the zip file.
