ebay...

is sometimes lovely

Buying for G is a problem and in 14 days he has a significant birthday

so I trawled ebay and Amazon for old/out of print stuff

This book came today with a lovely note - which I will pass on as part of the present

(the best example was years ago when I bought bits of my Wedgwood dinner service - I had weeks of email exchange on the history of the pieces I bought)
