And it has a wartime background as well! So that might be my next Gilbert.

I've had mixed results with Gilbert but I definitely enjoyed Death Has Deep Roots.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616800837907092489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-48231160923948711262017-10-30T08:01:01.587+01:002017-10-30T08:01:01.587+01:00They both have their pros and cons.

Personally, I also have preference for hard copies, but have come to appreciate the upsides ebooks have to offer. <br />TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-9658738301138980432017-10-30T07:58:05.367+01:002017-10-30T07:58:05.367+01:00One thing about ebooks I never fully understood is...One thing about ebooks I never fully understood is that they can go "out-of-print" or simply be removed from online stores. I suppose it has to do with licensing rights expiring, but it negates one of the most valuable aspects of ebooks in that can be kept in print indefinitely and distributed with any additional costs (once you have finished product). Particularly these older books can be kept on the books and sold for decades.<br /><br />Anyway, you can always go after some secondhand copies. There are more than enough of them and they're relatively cheap. And I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I have.

Thankfully, I had already purchased this one and 'Katie Steelstock'. I would have liked to have purchased a few more, though. :( Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389512470283015279noreply@blogger.com
