I've given him my telephone number in case he gets another copy. No luck with any of the others. One interesting (if a bit sad) piece of news is that Leo of Carmarthen Books (9 Mansel Street, Carmarthen, tel 01276 235676) has sold his property to developers and is emigrating to New Zealand (!). The Welsh part of his book collection will be in a sale during the next month or so. The biggest local paper is (I think) "The Western Telegraph", Their advertising office is at 14 Meyrick Street, Pembroke Dock tel 01646 682420 When I have a bit of time I'll check the book for Johns of Fold Park.
