What publications does CATMHS sell and where can I buy them?

Updated

CATMHS sells its publications through an online shop on catmhs.org.uk, with the full catalogue listed on the site's Publications page. The shop includes titles such as an updated Coniston Copper Mines Field Guide by Eric Holland and the recently released CATMHS Journal 7. If you want to buy, go to the On-line Shop; if you want to see everything available first, start with the Publications page.

What you can buy

The site highlights two items in particular:

  • Coniston Copper Mines Field Guide — an updated edition by Eric Holland, sold through the On-line Shop.
  • CATMHS Journal 7 — A4 format, soft cover, 219 pages, containing eighteen articles. Topics range from "Backbarrow Iron Works" and "Burlington Quarry" to "Exploration of Yewthwaite Mine" and "Extractive Industries of Walney Island." It includes many colour and monochrome photos, most of which have not been published before.

The site also states that CATMHS sells a large number of publications via the On-line Shop, so the two items above are examples rather than the complete list.

The site does not state prices for individual publications on the pages summarised here, so check the On-line Shop for current pricing before ordering.

Other things worth knowing

  • New material is added. A "STOP PRESS" notice announces a newly uploaded Hodbarrow Mines CD Photo Album, so it is worth checking the site for new items rather than relying on an old list.
  • Membership and publications are separate. Joining or renewing CATMHS is handled through the membership application and payments pages, not the shop.
  • Payment methods for the Society include direct bank transfer, cheque, cash, and PayPal. The site notes that PayPal carries a fee to the Society (3.4% on £10, 1.75% on £60, 1.4% on £6000) and asks that payments over £50 not use PayPal, preferring direct transfer to the account: The Cumbria Amenity Trust, sort code 60-07-10, account number 50607790. This guidance appears in the payments section; confirm how it applies to shop orders at checkout.
