Re: SER1 First Overland - start date

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/08/20]

I have a spare copy if someone wants one and makes me an offer! ...It's a 
Companion Book Club, Hard Back edition, but is in very good condition with 
dust jacket. I never got around to putting it on ebay.
Regards
Martin
