Default Interesting Charity shop find
In my local charity shop, a privately published book of Snaffles prints in mint condition. Includes drawings from both world wars printed on quality paper. I have shown just a couple of the prints.

( goes to show you should be careful in your choice of the writer of the Foreword )

What a fabulous book, not being aware of Snaffles, I'm going to research him and have a look at his sketches.

Regards.

Brian
