This is a comprehensive survey of as many different threads as I have been able to obtain.
The threads are listed in groups under fibre type and then alphabetically by manufacturer.
This is followed by comparisons of thread thicknesses based on wraps/cm.
Edition 5 includes all the threads featured in Edition 4 plus all of those from Addendum 3,
a total of 1,350 threads.
RRP in UK is £9.00
Price for single copy, including postage is UK - £10.00
Europe - £11-25 (or €13 CASH, not cheque)
Rest of world - £12-80 (or $21 USA CASH, not cheque)
The price for five or more copies is £6.00 each plus postage as incurred.
Typical postage for 10 books is:
UK - 1st class £7-50, . . Europe - airmail £12-00, . . Rest of world (airmail) £27-00 (surface £14-00)
(each book with packaging weighs about 220grams)
40 or more copies, £5-75 each plus postage as incurred.
Sorry but I do not have facilities to take plastic, so cash, GBP cheque or electronic transfer only.

For purchases from other countries I recommend purchasing from one of the UK traders who will accept the plasic of your choice.
I am still maintaining the Addendum lists.
Addenda 1, 2, 3 and 4 are complete. Addendum 5 is ongoing.
If you have Edition 1 (600 threads) you need all five Addendum lists.
If you have Edition 2 (800 threads) you need Addendum 2, Addendum 3, Addendum 4 and Addendum 5.
If you have Edition 3 (1100 threads) you need Addendum3, Addendum 4 and Addendum 5
If you have Edition 4 (1350 threads) you need Addendum 4 and Addendum 5
If you have Edition 5 then only Addendum 5 is needed.
If you have any thread which is not included in the book or the Addendum lists
I would be delighted to recieve a small sample - a metre or so is plenty.
