Just finished reading both Rivet Lads books, fascinating reading, entertaining and very detailed writing.

The author does suggest that the characters are not neccessarily true to life but I guess thay were closely based on reality.

Wonderful read, enjoyed it greatly. thoroughly recommended.

By the same author and a book anybody building a boiler should read, “Historic Boiler Explosions”. Read the text and look at the pictures awsome ! Noel.

I’ve read the first of the Rivet Lad books, and fully agree, it’s an excellent read. Definately reccommended.
