I've made the mistake of getting the same book twice, especially when they don't use the same image in the different items. It's caught me out about 4 times.

I have just seen on E-Bay 'COVENTRY IMAGES OF The PAST' FOR £6. I already have this lovely book but may I recommend it to others who would be delighted by it!

Thanks for that Prof, it is a very good book and there are cheaper copies, but maybe not in such good condition. Double thumbs up

On 11th Dec 2018 1:47pm, scrutiny said: Just to let you all know, The Staunton Folio is now in the hands of a member of this forum. Wink
This beautiful book, given so generously to us all by our wonderful forum member, has now been converted into a PDF version, which allows us to see it in much better detail - and also enables us to download a copy for ourselves. I have made it available from the Online Book Index on Historic Coventry. Double thumbs up

They are truly wonderful and such a generous gift to members Double thumbs up . The colour brings the pictures to life and highlights details that might not be obvious in the B/W versions.

A lady has been in touch with me who has an original copy of Benjamin Poole's large History and Antiquities of Coventry from 1869. She's described it as "has damaged original cover and pages are slightly browned with age". She would like £50 for it, so if anyone on here would like to buy it from her, please let me know and I will put you in touch.

A recent purchase from off of ebay. Had been listed for many weeks and surprised no one else bought it. A 1940 diary of a 26 year old lady who lived in Coventry, close to the City Centre, (not going to show her name or full address): Full of entries of daily life in the City. She dated and was going to marry a gentleman and it has details of pubs & cinemas they went too and so much more about what she did every day. Of real interest is later in the year and the air raids. This is just one page from the diary: "terrible air raid, another air raid, Hillfields bombed".

For anyone looking to significantly increase their home library of local history books, this online auction site has just put up a box full of very useful Coventry and Warwickshire books. Although the auction is online, this one is supplied by Warwick Auctions in Queen Victoria Road, so will be easy for locals to pick up. It ends this Wednesday, 16th. Smile
