Alan, thanks for sending my copy out so quickly, great book (number 26 of 100!), most impressed with the presentation, even after the British guide bibliography. What's next?
Mike.

Mike,

I'm taking a back seat, Peter Haigh is working on a bibliography of caving guidebooks, but that's 18 - 24 months away. I have also heard from an Australian who has been provoked into doing a similar job on Australian guidebooks, again years away.

Being a very keen collector I now have four of your UK books all with supplements.
The addition of five Alpine books may seem over the top however these books are a must for a collector. An invaluable asset that I use on a daily basis. The Alpine book being a signed limited edition of just 100 copies will in my opinion become highly collectable in its own right. Is it a well known supermarket uses the phrase “when they are gone they are gone” I’m so pleased to have purchased 5% of the print run
Thanks Alan
