Exhibition Study Group Publications
The ESG publishing fund was set up with the very generous donation of £3,500 from Karl Illingworth. This has enabled the sale of the ESG publications to members to be on a virtual non-profit making basis.
The following ESG publications were published with very small print runs and are now unfortunately unavailable. The original selling price is shown for information only.
