Hi Sandy
Sounds great. I found a second-hand bookshop locally last week which sold
mostly 'penny horribles' but they did have a small box of books more my
style. One I bought is about the English counties and gives a potted
history, physical make-up, people, places and even newspapers from way
back - an excellent little buy. So you can sometimes pick up quite a good
bargain, even here!

Cheers, Jackie
