Since I've had a subscription to National Geographic for about a thousand years, I've probably got the thing somewhere in my basement, which I've been meaning to clean anyway. This could take a while.

Elisabeth, Shan, and other UK LBHA members --
I don't mind being a "drop box" for you on e-Bay purchases that won't ship to the UK. I've done it for a French member for a long time. You can have things sent to you in care of me, and I'll send it along to you. I don't mind as long as it isn't anything illegal!
Shan -- Writing you a note is on my to-do list. I haven't forgotten your last question and have good news for you. Give me a few days to get caught up on other things (like the work that actually pays me), and I'll be in touch.
Diane

Has anyone ever heard of the book, "Legacy, The Battle of the Little Big Horn," by Ward Garing?
Best wishes,
Fred.

Thanks to T-Dude for the link.
Fred, as you will see, the name is actually Legacy: The Treaty of Little Big Horn and the cover says, "Based on an idea by Scott Baron." Well, you're one who likes historical fiction. Do you have it?

Diane--
No, but the same gal who sold that for Garing wanted to represent my little effort. Very interesting. I wonder if anyone's read it & if so, how is it?
Best wishes,
Fred.
P.S.-- Oh, and thanks, Treasuredude.

Diane, thanks for the offer!
Shan -- I got mine from a company called El Pinarillo Books, in Streatham (familiar territory?!). Their website is elpinarillobooks.com. Not sure if they've got other copies, but they may well have. There do seem to be plenty around, which is good news! So if they've sold out, I'd suggest just doing a Google search, which is how I found my copy; it came up with loads of possibles.

Crab -- No, I don't. OK, it's a deal! Care to PM me your mailing address? (Sorry, Fred -- much as I'm tempted!) Will do. Do you happen to have a link to your book? I wanted to check it out, but I can't find it on Amazon. |

I'm going to be honest, that seems like an uneven trade. At the most, the book I have costs 15 bucks... |

Oh, don't worry, I didn't pay anything like their price for my copy! Can't remember how much now, but it wasn't that expensive ...
