Hi John, thanks for that. The folk on the list have actually sent me the detaisl for the Budge out of the book but another vessel our McArthur family came on the Broomielaw,so i thought i would buy a cheaper copy to donate to our society after I had looked over it. Since there are a few copies cheaper than the $795 quoted, maybe I can still buy one later. $249.88 isnt bad, but I thought it wasn't available at the moment. Will take another look.
