I am trying to obtain, in particular, "Condition of the Border at the Union" by John Graham. Scotpress in America have it but I can't get any response from them (I have tried four E-Mails over two months). Other books that Scotpress have that I could be interested in are The Border Clans The Border Reivers Brief History of the Marches I am unsure of the authors of thesebut they are all re-prints of old books. Also has anyone had any involvrement with The Cumberland and Westmoreland Antiquarian and Archaelogical Society (CWAAS). I have been E-Mailing them for several months and have written to their secretary but without any reponse. I was going to become a member of their society as it would appear they have a good supply of historical material on border families. It seems that no one wishes to have dealings with antipodean researchers. Best regards from New Zealand, Bruce Glass ______________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Lesley Robertson [mailto:l.a.robertson@stm.tudelft.nl] Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 1:00 AM To: BORDER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Bookshops > Hi Listers, does anyone know of any book-shops in the Carlisle area of > Cumbria, England that specialises in re-prints of old books on genealogy > and history of Border families. > > I am trying to obtain, in particular, "Condition of the Border at the > Union" by John Graham. One of the best shops for old scottish books I know of the Benny Gillies in Castle Douglas. In the past, they've even remembered when I've been too late to buy a given book from their catalogue and contacted me when they've had a new copy. Their address, etc, is on my office machine, so I can't give it here, but a web search on "Benny Gillies" and "book" will turn him up. Lesley Robertson ______________________________
