Hi Deecee, do you know if those books by Paul Heaton are still available. I tried a few years back to get them, had my father go to some guys house who supposedly had them in stock, but wasn’t able to get either one.

Regards Paul.

Hi Paul, try Abergavenny 01873 850380 “Abergavenny Bookshop”, he should have them.
