Normally I would be but after showing her the cost of some of the books on my last vacation she had a change of heart and before vacation I was running a ton of OT.I think I'd be dead meat if being caught getting that lot in one go. Great haul though.
Great haul Paul.So every year I usually do one big order of books, Usually Japanese aircraft with a mix of other stuff. This year way different. Post man will kill me as at least half supposed to arrive between today and tomorrow. Wife might kill me as well but oh well. Could have worse habits LOL Should completed my Soviet library for a while.

Mind sharing your source?

My wife works, so when delivered, my books disappear into the existing stash. So far, she has not noticed the growth, however my first daughter, recently walking through the shop showed a look of panic on her face. I'm sure it was due to my age, 82, and her thought of clearing the stuff out.
Oh I have many sources, thrift book stores, Half price book stores, Amazon, Book Deposit, Abe Books and others including good will. Amazon if you look under used books can also be used. You have to figure out shipping and handling and such but there are a ton of places.Mind sharing your source?

Hope it helps Ralph
Couple more with a Malta slant. There's appears to be some more interesting background on the Club Run Spitfire deliveries in the Mansfield book, told from a pilot's perspective.
It's remarkable what can be picked up for a few quid second hand!
