Good Morning Everyone.....

Digging through the $1.00 book bin in a local charity shop looking for early Clive Cussler books my eyes spotted the following laying in a corner.....

A book on H.M.S. Powerful

A little more digging and I found this..... Boer War Hero's......

This got me going and I just about emptied the bin and found this but it had been damaged in the rough handling by kids looking for children's books......

Never did find any Cussler, talked to the staff and they said that they had several boxes of military books but did not put them out as and I quote "Nobody is Interested in that Old History Stuff especially Killing and Violence" and so some have been sent to a paper recycler already..... They said that there may still be a few other boxes and to come back on Monday......

Will be there with bells on......

Mike

"Especially Killing and Violence"...... They had a huge rack of Video Games of all kinds and I had to bite my tongue.......
