Books of Interest to everyone

[Christopher]

your right should of relised,sorry for my posting

Hello familyman,

No need to apologise How many people can afford books these days I find that scouring charity shops for books of local interest can be very rewarding and well worth
the effort. People sometimes donate real treasures to their local charity shop.

I've picked up some brilliant local history books from there for a matter of a couple of pounds.  Really great site.

There's also:
www.ukbookworld.com
And, of course:
www.ebay.co.uk
As well as books on local history techniques and family history, there are some excellent opportunities to buy books on local areas (eg. just bought one called 'Dudley and the Black Country 1760 to 1860'). *I know this isn't of interest to everyone, but it illustatrates what is available.

google books has a lot of free stuff and should help rootschat by having a link on the forum

http://books.google.co.uk/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp


They highlight the places, names of interest and let you search the book also for pages of interest. Some books can be downloaded for free and others will tell you what library has them.
