I finished reading this book last night, and eventhough it is the sequel to The Deep Well at Noon, was able to associate with the characters. A good read, especially if you are interested in the art world.
In the latest Netguide edition, one of the sites mentioned is BookMooch.com. A free site and how it works is that BookMooch allows you to mail your unwanted tomes to other interested readers and, in return, request stuff you are keen on.
I have registered on the site, and listed the book mentioned above as one to give to someone. Also was able to add a few books to my wish list, and add other books that I wish to give away.
Most of the people are in the States, Canada and the UK at the moment, but no doubt this will change with time.
check out the site if you are interested.
Have had a very productive morning on the computer, catching up with emails, and sending off details concerning my family history research. It's always a thrill when you hear from someone out of the blue that is researching the same family names.
Received another contact from a lady in New Zealand regarding William MASKEY, who married a Mary BIRD in England 15 June 1750. The contact has advised that the story in her family is that in some way, Mary Bird is related (probably by marriage) to William WILBERFORCE.
A great offshoot of doing your family history is that it awakens your interest in history and many other issues and want to find out more information.
The Maskey line in my family ties into the ADAMS family on my mothers side.
John Linsley ADAMS married Clara Amanda MASKEY 22 Sept 1877 at Windsor New South Wales. Clara's parents were John MASKEY and Ann Sarah WOODS, and the Maskey line I have on my records also goes back to William Maskey and Mary Bird.
