Having now spent 28 years in the colonies (Australia) it has become increasingly obvious that I won't be back. Downsizing also now necessitates that I must reduce my collection of (mostly UK) mining history books and they can probably find a much more appreciative home amongst the list members - so they're up for sale. Contact me OFF LIST for a book list and details of prices etc or check out this webpage: http://www.users.bigpond.com/nqsearch/miningbooks.htm Any and all offers considered. Cheers Ian Hodkinson
