From about 8.00am until 3.00pm today there was a corruption in the
files
on the Archive CD Books web site and the on-line ordering.
That has now been cured (after a few headaches) ;-)
If you tried to place an order during this time, you will have seen an
error message, and your order was not placed.
Please re-enter your order.
I appreciate that many of you would have been trying to place a last
minute order for the new "Universal Directory of Britain 1791" before
the introductory price offer expired at midnight tonight.
Therefore (despite what the web page says), that introductory offer
price has been extended until midnight GMT on January 2nd.
Regards and a happy new year!
