We all await the publication of the remaining volumes of the New History with anticipation - meanwhile the 'Lordship' book can still be purchased and is one the shelves of the Manx Museum shop and most of the Island's bookshops - if anyone wants a copy from off-island, I am sure Amazon or similar can provide it.

Also from this period are Frances Wilkins books on mariner/smuggling issues - full of names and events from Manx, Scottish and English records - her new book (on the running trade) is about to be published ..... she is holding a signing session at the Museum next week.
