the Kitk Patrick book is just one of series covering all IoM yards - the burial regs are available on CD Rom and the MI books should be soon

the woods atlas tables are online (+ I think on Mormon fiche) but not that useful without the maps (see www.manxnotebook.com
)
the Yesterday''s mann book indicates the poor quality of architecture in Douglas
the other pamphlets are typical of those issued for each Tynwald day - the original owner probably visited then - 1979 was chosen (for no especial reason other than QE II was free that year to attend Tynwald) as the Millenium year

Thanks for your input Frances. I will pass on to the local library - if they do not have it.
