It's available both through Amazon andAmazon.UK. This is an excellent work - up to Prebble's usual highstandards. If you have not read it, and are interested in Darien, youreally should track it down.Jud--- In nigel-tranter-books@yahoogroups.com <mailto:nigel-tranter-books%40yahoogroups.com> , "Jane Nauta" <nautajane@...> wrote:>> No! no need to keep it to yourself, just don't endanger copyright.
