Maplin Project Book 20 is now online
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/Project_Book_20.zip (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/Project_Book_20.zip)
Beware. 100MB zip, uncompresses to 100MB. Each page is jpg, scanned 300dpi, black and white. 2 pages are colour 300dpi (front and back cover).
Other project book to follow later.
(I didn't have time to upload it this morning).
EDIT: BTW, it has projects to build for CPC. So I got this post in the correct forum ;)
Ah - until your EDIT I was going to ask "so what's it about it then?" :D Should be an interesting read... :)

Nocash, feel free to write some info about the cpc projects in these books on the wiki. I don't have time to this myself.
Maplin gave me written permission to host the files on cpctech, so please link to them. I think you will be ok to quote information or extract the articles.
And now, a link which will give some insight into the designs on the front of older catalogues:

EDIT: PNG was 70MB. Server said no after 50MB.

Now 6MB and server happy.
Fantastic cover... I didn't know Maplin sold Space Opera novels :D
