Good morning "shipmates" 😉
Just re-bought the book by Alison McLeay 'the World of the Onedin
Line' being the historical background woven around the series. When I
bought it originally, perhaps in the early 1980s, it was a remainder
then. This copy I bought online via Biblio.com and the seller is in
Australia. I didn't expect to find it! Who knows, there might be more
out there, lurking on the internet. Thor original of course, went
west when I had a clean-out. Oh dear! There were no DVDs then and I
did not imagine I would ever see Onedin Line again so why keep the book?Details for those wanting to hunt it down …
ISBN: 0 7254 0385 3, copyright Alison McLeay 1977, published in
Australia 1977 by Ure Smith, Sydney (a division of Paul Hamlyn Pty
Ltd).It's well illustrated, well written and contains a wealth of
knowledge about the history of the times and the cast and crew. It's
well recommended for those keen to search it out.Best regards to you all – oh, and I had written to Memphis Belle
asking if they were going to digitise the remainder of the series.
Well, I don't write in Dutch so maybe they couldn't understand me or
perhaps they just don't respond to email requests. So writing to them
might be a waste of time – on the other hand … if enough people
write, it might jerk them out of their lethargy. Just now starting
disk 1 of series 4 and *finally* they have got the episodes named and
available for choosing rather than the Biblical system they used
previously.Best regards to you all …

> Elaine in Brisbane, AustraliaHi Elaine,
I bought 2 copies of the wonderful book at Amazon.com, they were used
but in good condition. Too tell the truth I haven't read them yet.
The ISBN from the 2 books is 07153 73986. A good place to trade books
is at http://www.bookcrossing.com or the german version http://www.bookcrossers.de.
Check out the fritos bookshelf or others from all over the world.
Greetings from Germany,

Are there more books then? Or do you mean the Cyril Abraham books?

My understanding is that books are just left in places for people to
pick up and pass on with the details being logged on the website.
It's a matter of luck what books you might pick up – unless there is
some formal arrangement for trading that I missed when I looked at
the bookcrossing website recently.> Check out the fritos bookshelf or others from all over the world.
What does this mean?
Regards from Brisbane Australia

> ElaineHi Elaine,
The ISBN number 07153-73986 is for my 2 copies of " The World of The
Onedin Line". Wondered why your ISBN was different than mine, since
it's the same book?
At "Bookcrossing" there are planned releases and controlled releases,
where someone writes me a PM and requests a booktrade or viceversa. I
also have a few friends where we just send each other any books we
have read, and hope they will be sent on later or left someplace. You
can trade anything, there arn't any rules. I've traded bookmarks,
interesting bookcrossing labels and even a bag of fritos for a book,
DVD or CD. Depends what a member has listed on his bookshelf. A list
of my registered, released,found or permanent books collection can be
viewed at my fritos bookshelf.
Tschüss,
Barbara>
