BOOKS and EPHEMERA
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that Books tend to be costly
to post and that prices are "ex Gunroom" -- thanks.
30th
August 2010: I cannot believe how long it has taken
me to get back to the website! My firm intention (ha!) is to
start updating the pages after the middle of September -- -thanks
for your patience.
I
lost my Contacts / Tasks when my PC hard drive crashed - -and
all the backups were corrupt, so if you have heard nothing about
an enquiry PLEASE re-send it -- thanks .
These are generally Low Priority in the "Sorting-Out Process",
so I appreciate your patience.
I am in the process of rationalising my own reference library and
many of these books come from there -- often duplicates because
of upgrades
