Christmas is coming; the cat wears a hat ...
|
I recently bought a copy (issue 10) of this very useful and entertaining book ... great for browsing when eating one's breakfast porridge !
I had it on the table when a friend called .. and to cut a long story short, she gave me several old editions as she had 'finished her family history' (Oh to be so lucky !!) I didn't quibble ...
... but now my question is, is this published yearly, or every two or three years ? There is no publishing date inside that I can find (please note this, Robert Blatchford, editor, if you are an RC member !) A date would be useful, then I could date them myself.

No, its edited and compiled by Robert Blatchford, sub-titled 'Genealogical Services Directory' ...
Its being advertised at the moment in several of the FH magazines ... and I happened to see issue 10 in the bookshop, browsed, and bought !
And the articles are about 2 or 3 pages each, thus ideal for breakfast reading !

It seems to be an annual publication but one site says all other editions are out of print. I googled and you can see the covers and reviews of other editions. Might be able to buy some second hand somewhere.
