Have you tried your local library. I know when i go into mine they sometimes give you the opportunity of buying the book. Jen

I can guarantee a train set with long sidings up to your computer for the transportation of sandwiches and the odd drink, cannot be got for £1 a week.............. However hard you try....................... Merry

Don't bring up train sets again. OC will have apoplexy. J

Looking for an obscure book which may have contained information about my GGAunt's husband's family I googled. The prices shown on various sites were from £8 to £30+ Well call me tight but I wasn't willing to pay out that sort of money for something that was just my 'informed' guesswork. So I tried my library and they couldn't get a copy so...... In the end I went onto e.bay and set it as a 'favourite' so I would be contacted if it ever came on the site for sale. Well blow me down....Within the month it was listed and I won it for £1. I now have a perfect condition copy and best of all it confirmed the family link :)))) Worth a try if all else fails ? Chris
