Subject: May Stock from Ulster Books
Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 09:13:40 -0700

Hi folks, one of the problems we have in the diaspora is getting our hands on
local books in Ulster. However Derek Rowlinson of Bangor has an on line
antiquarian bookstore. You can check his on line catalog (see bottom of post)
and sign up to receive announcements of new aquisitions. There's a number
here that are relevant to our areas of interest. A volume of Hill's book on
the MacDonnells (I bought one from him last year), various Ulster Scots
poets, etc. To repeat, these are largely second hand. To buy books in print
try Amazon's UK website or (my favorite) www.bookshop.co.uk .

There's even some highland bagpipe music below!
