Have you checked out the charity one at the back of the Lanes yet? They have a stack of those Pan/Ballantyne WWII campaign paperbacks for a couple of quid each (upstairs). Picked up an interesting one about the Flying Tigers at the weekend.

I did go a few weeks ago, didn't see those when i was there though.

Must be a new delivery then. Mostly European theatre stuff (which doesn't interest me tbh) but a few navy-related ones, and I think there were some about Africa. Just up the stairs, on your right.

Finally got a copy of TSATF, hurrah! Lot of things I like in it, lots of things I don't. We'll see, eh?

Oh, and the local libray was selling off uneeded stock, picked up Conan Doyle's The Lost World, the first Flashman (each for a quid) and a book on British cavalry uniforms.

Finally got a copy of Osprey's The Russian Civil War (1) The Red Army.  I've had the second volume on the Whites, which I bought first because my sympathies leaned more their way, for quite some time now.  I find it strange that Osprey took the first volume out of print while continuing to publish the second.  I thought it was supposed to be a set!

P.S. I will paint the mini. Patience, please...

Not sure if this counts as I'm getting them from the library, but I am in the midst of C.J. Sansom's excellent "Matthew Shardlake" books. Shardlake is a hunchback lawyer in Henry VIII's London who manages to get involved in all sorts of intrigue. Not exactly wargamer-y, but you could come up with some good Gloire scenarios!

That sounds fantastic!  Thanks for the recommendation!
