Vietnam

Close to my heart, I have a large collection on Vietnam unit histories and other titles – many are becoming quite scarce.

Welcome to Catalogue #217. Ah April! Doncha just love it! The autumn breezes have blown the WA heat away and we can at last rest easily at night. It’s a long haul here in WA, from September to April, as hot as hades in February and just hot the rest of the time. But...I’m not whinging knowing what thousands of people have gone through with...

Welcome to Catalogue #216 of March 2019. Whilst it’s only a short list this time, there are some memorable titles on it. Here in the West we’ve had some scorching weather (as February always is) but nothing to match the crazy weather in the Eastern states from floods and bushfires. The loss of life is always worrying especially losing thousand...

Welcome to Catalogue 215 . Australia Day 2019 has come and gone with all the attendant celebrations along with a fair share of bleating and chest beating. It’s a shame that the time and energy spent disputing a date can derail us from the real job at hand and that is giving our indigenous brothers a hand up. I’d rather we spent our energies in...

Welcome to Catalogue 214—our 20% off Christmas list. This is our biggest list ever and represents most of the most desirable books in our collection.

Welcome to Catalogue #213 November 2018. As we head into our second month of ‘remembrance’ (along with April), we prepare for the 100th anniversary of the end of the great carnage that was WW1. On 11 November 2018 we pause to remember those thousands of diggers who gave their lives in the cause of the British Empire. We lost around 60,000 KI...

Welcome to Catalogue #212, October 2018. Back at the sharp end after gingaing around in North America. My swollen legs have now returned to human shape and the compression sox discarded. Thank you Silver Chain, great work. And Jo’s broken hand has also healed and her splint is off. Just in time for the summer. Here is a list of nearly 300 titl...

Welcome to Catalogue 211, Sep 2018. Apologies for missing the last one (Aug) but we’d taken ourselves to Canada and the US. Spent most of the time playing with grand kids and watching them rush about playing baseball. What fun!! Also got the chance to ‘inspect’ Toby’s university at Oswego (State Uni of NY). A beautiful town Oswego, right on...

But we’ve a warm house and plenty of warm clothes so we’re much better off than many. This is my last list till September as we are off on a sojourn to Canada and the US to visit offspring and their offspring. Can�...

Winter is coming!! As Catalogue 209 hits the streets/airwaves we have a nice little cooling down here in Perth after a long hot summer. Heavy rain the other day was a welcome respite and does wonders for Hyde Park lake/s and Jo’s gardens. But we’re in for a dry winter. Poor old farmers, can’t take a trick. In WA, dry seeding is the best many ...

Welcome to Catalogue 208, May 2018. This is my “Post ANZAC Day” list and it is a time of great remembrance. For the first time in my long life I didn’t participate in anything this year. Watching it all unfold on TV was a new experience. Must admit I was a bit overcome to see my mates swinging down the Terrace in sandy berets, where I would u...
