Wow, that's flown by. The Wonderholme is still there...
I'm hoping to locate the second volume at a decent price one day, but once out of print many local books get quite expensive.
@carryonsidney: Yeah, I missed them originally. They came out five or six years before I joined the book trade and were privately published. I've been keeping an eye out for a few years as I do like my local books, but the print runs can't have been massive. They crop up occasionally online, but usually expensive, the last one I saw online was about £90! I finally stumbled on book one in a chazza, priced at 75p, I nearly fell over.
Francis Frith used to use to license out their local ranges. A version of this book was taken by Waterstones. Meanwhile, some Ottakar's branches carried ranges from the same source; the Poole branch having Francis Frith books and notebooks to match.
