Joshua Rose had a number of books. If you find the big 2-volume one on machining practice it is very well worth considering for your library. In US dollars, expect to pay between 1 and 5 hundred dollars, depending on condition. The engravings are impressive.

Or, if you can't afford the $$$, you can download ".pdf" versions from Google Books.

If its pure project ideas you're looking for its hard to beat the books turned out by Village Press, they have a bit of everything. For Horology (clock making, not mastering the friday night pick up line) the brits have us beat Clock Makers—John Wilding.
For straight technique on manual equipment I'd like to recommend "Advanced Machine Work" by Robert H. Smith, why this book isn't extolled ten times more then southbends rag on running a lathe I will never know.
For pretty pictures/engravings, great ideas for manual machine tooling and a fully dimensioned set of plans for a 1/4 hp steam engine, I suggest "Metal Working" by Paul N. Hasluck, he covers a bit of everything in the book, some of it is archaic but some of the ideas are still very applicable.
You are closer to Europe, which would have a trove of machining books that we would not normally have access to here, I have a few that were given to me by a scotsman I worked with years ago and they were very interesting. Be aware that the term "engineering" is used interchangeably with machining and actual engineering.
