If you hear of a book from an independent publisher try to buy direct! I’ve just ordered twenty more Football Grounds Frenzy Wales, £200 (tinyurl.com/4t925fsm). The online store needs costs £18 a month, I use Photoshop to, another tenner a month. Luckily it’s a hobby and I don’t need to use Amazon.
