Regular viewers of these listings may have noticed that we have reduced the number of catalogues to be issued this year by one, thus there will be seven throughout the year plus the January Sale issue. This has been done partly to enable us to have more time to search through our stock in hand, collate the selected items and thus bring you a wide variety of material to capture your interest. I hope you will agree that it has certainly happened with this catalogue, which shows some real little gems. Mary.
