   Thanks - the local library has a 1998 Gibbons World and a 1998 Gibbons   
   Commonwealth, but only for reference inside the library. However, they can   
   get me vol 1 of 1999 Commonwealth to borrow. That's on order.   
      
   > One last suggestion...start collecting yourself!   
      
   This is but one small part of the mountains of stuff we'd love to keep - The   
   usual triumvirate of space/time/finances mean we can't even start to   
   appreciate most of it....
