Hi All, Before anyone goes rushing off to get this Quinton repro of the 1878 edtion of Sir John's book, I would suggest that a more usable purchase of this work is a "Welsh Classics" edition, edited by J. Gwynfor Jones, the expert on this Wynn fmaily, because Jones' edition has an invaluable set of annotatations to explain and interpret the original. The original is actually not terribly useful -- I have one but while it is handsome, it is not very readable. J.G.Jones' edition has the features one needs to understand the importance of Sir John's history of his family. It is not expensive. Published in 1990 in hardback by Gomer Press at L. 14.95, I got it thru amazon.uk, I think. It should be in print because I suspect Dr. Jones uses it as a text in his Univ. of Wales courses. It also contains a 2nd item by Sir John called "Memoirs". The two texts are indexed and annotated together, so you get a ton of quickly accesible data and info. Good luck.

Thanks Myles, At the time I ordered mine this was the only version I could find. But if there is a better one I agree that would be the way to go.
