Good Evening Everyone......

Hello Mike,
Quite a lot on there that I've never seen, when a book is long out of print, the problem is getting hold of a copy.
Nice to see what it is possible to find though, even today 100 years plus down the line!

Good Morning Everyone.....

Hi Frank.....

Yes it is an impressive list some old some new but they are still available here and there especially on ebay and some have been reprinted which is OK unless you only want first editions.......

I went through the list and deleted a number of them that I have in my collection but still have a number that I will want to obtain.....

As for the listing of books I found this one the best.....

R G HACKETT : South African War Books - An Illustrated Bibliography (1994 PP £65)

Hi Mike,
I think the first editions are nicer, because of the binding and covers, it is still possible to find copies in respectable codition for what is now very little money, given there age!
Frank

Think my next one could be the Baden-Powell which I was lucky to find in a charity shop yesterday.
