-----Looking for Anodizing books
Q. I'm aero-modeling and I made my own model engines. I'm looking for some information about books and publications on colour anodising for starting to make little items for my amateur engines.

The Sulfuric Acid Process"
by David LaPlantz
on Amazon or eBay
or AbeBooks
(affil link)
A. Hi, Alberto. Robert Probert's "Aluminum How-To" is a good and readable book on the subject. I haven't personally read Artists Anodizing Aluminum: the Sulfuric Acid Process [on Amazon affil links], but it sounds like it may be useful.
The most thorough book on anodizing is "The Surface Finishing and Treatment of Aluminum and its Alloys", by Wernick, Pinner & Sheasby -- but it's probably both a little deep and a little too expensive for introductory needs. Good luck.
Regards,
Ted Mooney, P.E.
