Received the G Watkins book covering the Bristol area on Saturday.
From a quick look it appears excellent (again) , well done.
Unfortunately there was a damaged page on the copy I was sent. I wouldn't
normally make a fuss but it is on one of the pages of the Coalpit Heath
pictures. It is primarily the South Gloucestershire/Bristol part of the
book I am interested in so to have one of these pages damaged is
particularly unfortunate.
Is there any way of getting it exchanged?
Regards
David
