I think the release of this has settled my choice of trips. I shall visit Kilmartin and bits around there and head for the RSC in the New Year with this book in hand!

Nice one.

Or have a delve into some old free books while you're waiting... not up to date but quaint with the odd hidden gem.

It seems 'Great Crowns of Stone' is finally emerging!!!

Got an email from Waterstones asking me to ring as they had a problem with my 'recent' order (recently in November 2008!!!!) - because the card has expired....

I rang, it's sorted & it seems to be getting dispatched (tho I'll believe it when it arrives)!!!!

I know this reply is, like, 3 years late, but with many online stores (and online newspapers, etc) the URL can be reduced to almost the domain name plus a number; in this case:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1902419553/

These sites tend to add a readable description (in this case the book title) so that if you are browing your History you can tell what it was you were looking at; it also make the link look more "friendly"; they also add lots of guff them helps them track where links originated from which is what the "ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225978095&sr=8-1" bit is probably about (except the UTF8 part, which is the encoding)

So you don't always have to use tinyurl (but sometimes it is easier!)
