Hi Bob ~
I have photocopies of the title page of each of these Directories..... your
message has made me look more closely!
Each one has differing detail so it would probably be better if I copy that
information so you can judge for yourself what is included in each book.
regards

Hello Anne,
When you include a date with the title, is it for that year only
or the publication date of previous material?
Many thanks.
