CATALOGUE BUNKER! Hello again. Although our last catalogue was issued nearly a year ago, we have not retired but somehow time has speeded up. You will find the words Ex-Hannover lib. in some of the descriptions. These books were once in a BAOR library but apart from stamps on the title pages, have no other defects unless noted. Other ex-lib books are fully described. The Third Reich features quite heavily this time but we would like to draw your attention to the maps of the Somme battles which are more explanatory than the official histories. The cataloguer had a little frisson when he realised that he knew the parents of one of the authors herein and that his father had tended their garden. Now to the cornucopia below and hope that you find something you want.
