For those who may be interested , its as cheap as I've ever seen , but it is coming from Sth Africa so the postage may be a killer !! . Plus you need to be a member , possibly one for Springy ! .

Morning 90th Got it. But yes really good price for an excellent book. Post will be expensive, and long, there is still a postal strike in SA.

Hi 90th Yep strikes still on, plus theres now a mountain of undelivered mail piled up some place. Ive just had a couple of deliveries but one was a phone account from two months ago ! I may have a look at the Sonia Clark, it was on the Antique Auction a couple of months back. I don't know the Jeff Huntley print, must look it up. Any more on Phil Hughes?
Cheers

Hi Springy Unfortunately still no change in his condition , still critical , and still in the induced coma . I only paid R500 for my copy , about $ 50 Aussie , which is , I think , good value . . I'd hate to be relying on the postal service for Christmas , items may arrive in time for the next one !! Cheers 90th

Bidorbuy, are lately doing my head right in! not only am i waiting, 6 weeks and counting, but they keep sending e mails hoping that i was pleased with my purchases, and i cant get a peep out of the original vendor...and one i contacted ( well known in the AZW book fraternity ) told me she had over two hundred parcels locked in the system, shes really about to crack, when i pointed out that the strike will run its course, she was not best pleased! did not follow up with the outsiders observation that the S.A.P.O. should treat its workers right, and not try to use casual workers like it was still 50yrs ago!. i still fear for that wonderful country, so much yet to work out..fairly for all!. just my take on it..

Les Fully agree with the sentiments. But employment issues are just so much more complicated than the rest of the world. Another Love day in Africa.

I can only imagine. Interestingly enough my wife bought me the 3 Sonia Clarke limited editions last year for xmas!!
Nice , although I do feel like I have been paying out for them in shoes and handbags all year!!
