And finally...
The following books are now available to buy from the Preservation Group (click here). Not only do you get a generous discount (even more if you are a member) but you get that warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside knowing that you are also raising funds for the group. (Not forgetting that you are getting a good book too!)
