Hello, I am new to this list and suspect most of the other members are from the coalminers listserv. If so, you are familiar with me and my ever growing bibliography of the history of coal mining in Scotland. This list of works reflects material that, in most cases, I have read. I am currently looking for mining novels and will compile a list of those as well. W. John Shepherd.
