Hello Thrall,

there is an old joke from Woody Allen:
"I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in 20 minutes.
It's about Russia."

Regards,

John

I can personally guarantee you that this masterwork on Scottish genealogical research will more than repay you the minimal UK purchase price of £9.99 ........ to the extent that I'll buy you a bottle of a decent malt (my choice!) if it doesn't !!

That'll do for me
Mind you, ah wid still take a boatle o' Whyte an' MacKay in passin'
Aw that aside.
Ah'm no too keen oan paperbacks, other than reading copies, if the book is that guid,, wid advise all of yeese to keep yer eyes open in the future for a cheap hardback copy on the net.
