Hi,

My Postscript catalogue (a firm that deals with remainders and publisher's overstocks) arrived today and The Oxford Companion to Family and Local History edited by David Hey is on the list at £9.99 reduced from £25.00.

They also deal with the Remainders from the National Archives and so have quite a few of their books as well.

Their website is www.psbooks.co.uk

I have two books; DEAD AND BURIED IN DUBLIN and THE END - GRAVES OF IRISH WRITERS both by Ray Bateson.  If anyone would like me to look someone up please don't hesitate to ask.

your right should of relised,sorry for my posting

Hello familyman,

No need to apologise 8) 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.

Christopher


also try Abe Books.co.uk. They are very cheap, even including P&P

I usually rely on my local library, charity shops or used book stores to purchase or obtain books.  Amazing what one can find in a used book store.

Hi All

For a few days recently I have been receiving notifications for this thread that "A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by" xxxx. About three minutes later I receive "A topic you are watching has been split into two or more topics by" yyyy. I can never find the reply when I look for it. Is this happening to anybody else and can anyone please explain what is going on?

All the best

A spammer posted on this topic,
hence: "A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by XXX"

The spam posting was removed,
hence: "A topic you are watching has been split into two or more topics by XXX"

the spam post was then sent Quarantine until it could be dealt with and later deleted.
