We have a small local bookshop so if I want a new book I go to the big town, and get the ISBN number of the book I want and then ask my local bookshop to order it. I don't want her to go out of business.<BR/><BR/>Did you see the last but one blog on my site? It is about an old book I had found of my mother's. I have since found more and some of my grandmother's too. Am so excited about them.lorenzothellamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248039576046971460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-72000908807947977602007-07-20T23:43:00.000+01:002007-07-20T23:43:00.000+01:00Wonder if my daughter ever went there when she att...Wonder if my daughter ever went there when she attended Oxford her Jr year of college.
