John_Hartley Posted 28 October , 2005 Share Posted 28 October , 2005 Jonathon Looking at the website the advert "does exactly what it says on the tin". They are repros & transcriptions of stuff held at IWM archives. Website has full details of what's on (but not number of pages). Presumably one only gets the hefty discount by quoting the code from the advert. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmac Posted 28 October , 2005 Share Posted 28 October , 2005 Well, I hope the IWM are making some money from the sale of these things given that they have collected and must maintain these items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
