On a book hunt ...
« on: Monday 21 July 08 21:12 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone , I'm originally from Northchurch Berkhamsted and on my recent visit at the weekend i picked up a book and in the book the author is talking about another book called

" Hedgehog's Northchurch"  author is Bert Hosier his book was published in 1994

I have been on Amazon and been unable to have luck so I'm calling out to all you local Berkhamsted people if when your out and about could you keep your eyes peeled for me if you happen to pop into book shops in the area . Or if you think there are other books out there that may be of interest  please could you let me know  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

You could try phoning the Northchurch Society, number on this page:-
http://www.berkhamsted.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=221

The author gave a talk earlier this year:-

He could probably be contacted and would probably sell you a copy?

Chelle

There are 10 copies within the Herts library service.  Not much use if you live outside of the county, but.. if you are in the UK your local library should be able to order it for you.

You should be able to order a book in a Hertfordshire library from your local library anywhere in England.  Last time I did it some years ago it cost 50p.
