Brewers' Guardian

I found this site and was wondering if any of the books on this page are worth the money as they seem very expensive

I'm familiar with a few of them and they are good. Brewing - by Lewis & Young was recommended as the standard text book on the Heriot-Watt brewing course for example.

What sort of book are you after?

I am just trying to expand my collection as most of my books are american in origin and they seem to be using liquid malt in all the recipies , makes me think they dont know or want to use all mash .
so any that are uk specifc and if they mention a liquid malt at least it will be one that is availible in the UK
I have the 2 UK books by graham from camra but all the rest are USA origin and it is pretty annoying when trying to use a recipie and finding I cant get a tin of malt with that name on it from UK

A Guide to Craft Brewing is written by the Scottish homebrewer John Alexander. Most of the books you linked to seem more for the professional.

Depends how technical you want the books..

If you want english authored books on a less technical side of things there are the two gems by Dave Line they are a bit out of date but still very informative...
And on setting up a brewery etc there is The Microbrewers' Handbook by Ted Bruning.
