Thank you for your reply
I stored the companies name on my Computer, and some how,
I can't locate the info,I did visit the place a few years ago,
although they don't now see callers if you turn up in person.
Thank you again for your interest.

Were you thinking of Midland Counties Publications at Hinckley (not that far from Coventry)?

They used to do railway books and magazines but I think they were somehow taken over by Ian Allan around 2011.

You can find references to them on the internet but I've not got time to research it now.

I don't think that the original business model still applies.

Best of luck with your search.

It was the other way round - Midland Counties took over the book publishing side of Ian Allan about fifteen years ago. I was at the London Book Fair when it was announced (I'm a bookseller). Midland Counties up to then had primarily been an aviation publisher, so it's very likely to have been them.

It looks as if the company was in fact taken over by Ian Allen, but ceased to trade at Hinckley in March 2011.

I Googled the company name, and found this piece in an Aviation Forum - http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?107859-Ian-Allen-plus-closing-down-in-Hinckley

which I hope you'll be able to read.
