Great catch Paul!

According to bookfinder.com you can buy odd volumes as print-on-demand (they won't have fold out maps though I suspect).

I was lucky enough to find these for sale at the last medal fair I visited.
The K.O.Y.L.I. museum were selling off some books from their library to raise funds.
These were in a box with an "make us an offer" sign so I did and got them.
The Times History of the War in South Africa nearly complete apart from one volume
Insides are in very good condition considering the age, the maps are complete and the photographic plates still has the tissue paper protectors.
I am most impressed with the maps as they are very well detailed.
An added bonus as I thumbed through the pages were some original Times clippings relating to the particular chapters, I also found a hand written letter dated 1912.
These go to the top of my favourite books list

So perhaps a new bookcase too, a rather large one?

I have just finished reading the book " The Great Boer War" by Byron Farwell.

It was, for me a great read.
