*I was at the Launch of "Carlow History and Society" (Editor, Dr. Thomas McGrath, ISBN 978-0-906602-386 ) last night and I am excited and delighted because if Clara Bow was The "It Girl" then this is The "It Book" ( "It" has everything ). * *The assemblage in St. Patrick's College last night included dozens of respected national and local Historians. Later today I hope to get a chance to send a list of the Content, Contributors and Editors. * *I will also trot down to the Post Office and enquire about postage costs. With over 1,000 pages it is a heavy book so I hope you have a strong sturdy bedside locker to place it on for it is a book you will be dipping into again and again and again and........................................................... * *I wish I could send you all a copy of this book for within many of your questions are answered, if I win the Lottery this weekend expect a copy in the post .* *Some of you have asked me to get a copy for you which I have done (and I had them signed by many of the contributors ), I will be posting them out later today and would appreciate if you let me know when "It" arrives..............................a Good Carlow Day, mick*
