Excellent Site for Second-hand Local History Books

Just stumbled across this great site for purchase of second-hand and out-of-print local history books : http://www(.)oldlocalhistorybooks(.)com You can list the books for sale by county and there are often many many pages (for example Norfolk has 99 pages to wade through). If you like old books, or are looking for a local book that could have photos/descriptions of where your ancestors lived (or, fingers crossed, a photo of the rellie themselves) it could be worth checking out what's available.

I've also just noticed that you can register an interest in a particular area of subject, in case anything becomes available. Simon
