Good news. But why 2? Why not a single volume?

If they are like his earlier works (Gomer again?) they are good,(although too small to get the benefit of the pictures, unlike the A4 Irwell one) they really lack depth of text, unlike the Peter Johnson series which have an excellent balance of text and pictures. I still say a Johnson style one would be better and fill a hole in the Welsh NG definitive library of enthusiast.

There are two new books on the Corris on the way from Gwyn Briwnant
Jones - both of which should be available in 2009.

I will of course stock both of these in due course, but I have to say neither seems to be breaking new ground. I wait to be proved wrong. Nigel Nigel Bird...
