David Debono
Diary Dates for the Period : 27 November until 31 December 2002
This week we would like to highlight a new (although not in
a great way new in it self!) addition to Histrenact. we have targetted
specific period books available from Amazon and added these to each of
the period sections. These will change periodically but always reflect
the interests of the particular period. Hopefully useful to all!
Take care
