Visit to Hay on Wye

 Hello there! While taking the opportunity to try out the mobile home again, we passed through the second hand bookshop capital of the United Kingdom.

Hay on Wye is a great place to visit if you would like to expand your library.


I was drawn to these as they are packed with photographs of the American Civil War. I used similar sources of illustrations to make some officers and other ranks tents a few years ago. In particular these have photographs of numerous wagons and carts used by both armies and also journalists developing wagons. All potential projects for the future.


This was an addition to my Almark collection. It is very generic and broad in its remit but was in good condition for its age.


Although I have a collection of  Concord publications, I do not usually collect much material on the SS or even the conflict in Russia. I saw these, which were a vey good price. Again in very good condition and matched with a couple of future projects for North West Europe.
