Dear Bruce, We have just arrived home from two months in the UK. I saw the book called the Border Reivers in a second hand bookshop in Wooler, but don't know the name of the shop. The man wasn't at all helpful when I asked about a family history section I don't think he liked his job at all. I've had good success finding second hand books using www.abebooks.com Best wishes, Judy -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Glass [mailto:Bruce.Glass@xtra.co.nz] Sent: Sunday, 17 September 2000 12:52 PM To: BORDER-D@rootsweb.com; GRAHAM-D@rootsweb.com Subject: 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. 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 ______________________________
