Published by Andrews Water Heaters 2001.
Perfect bound with full colour limp laminated card covers.
A4. 128 pages. Printed on glossy art paper.

One of those wonderful publications whose title gives little clue as to the delights within.

Published by the company to celebrate 25 years in the industry and based on the collection of material assembled by Paul Yunnie, then MD of Andrews, depicting the history of domestic water heating.

It begins in Roman times and is basically a pictorial history of the subject, with illustrations of bathing practices and the practicalities of heating water over the last 2,000 years. Engravings, paintings, adverts, posters, catalogues, instruction manuals and promotional photographs are all used to tell the story, a great many of which are reproduced in full colour.

This publication was only ever given away by the company as a promotional item to trade customers and has never previously been available for sale.
