| If you could have a book, and money was no object, which book would you like to own. I'm talking about the rare books with this question. |

| Oldh I'm not talking about the readable online versions , I'm talking about the ACTUAL books , you now the ones .... you hold and turn the pages by hand ? they are freely ( easy ) to obtain online via ebay or online book shops ! . First editions are harder , I was wondering why anyone would want a first edition when the reprints are freely available , there isn't anything different in them compared to 1st Editions , they are one and the same I've noticed over the years , the ones I have anyway . 90th |

| As I mentioned above the website [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] has lots of copies of Mitford's book " through the Zulu Country ' in both soft and hadcover, various editions and prices. If a book is for sale anywhere, there is a good chanceyou will find it there. |
