(Both our surnames are relatively rare.)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-65538652404891444852013-04-08T16:15:14.434+01:002013-04-08T16:15:14.434+01:00Conrad Kinch,

Guinness, Murphys, Jamesons, or Bushmills I can believe ... but blaming the collected works of Charles S Grant defies belief.<br /><br />In truth I can see me buying the complete series in time ... but like you I will have to wait until payday.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-89594832339330449332013-04-08T16:11:06.733+01:002013-04-08T16:11:06.733+01:00I'll probably give in soon as well, I just wis...I'll probably give in soon as well, I just wish they weren't $50 a pop. Unless you buy the "rare" ones that some are selling for $100+. Gettysburg is of particular interest to me as one of my ancestors fought there as part of the Vermont Grenn Mountain boys. Although I suspect there is some sort of myth building associated with the story.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-20867110178201115332013-04-08T16:00:13.914+01:002013-04-08T16:00:13.914+01:00There is nothing more crazy or depraved than a man...There is nothing more crazy or depraved than a man in the depths of book buying spree. <br /><br />Be sure that this spree lasts long enough for you to get the whole damn lot. I re-read part of my four volumes last night. <br /><br />I'm trying to be disciplined and not buy the Peninsular volume until pay day.
