Anyone looking for out-of-print books should check out

which I've found very helpful. Try using a keyword
search for general topics.

A lot of people have a bit of our common history in
their heads, or in grandad's effects. 

I notice the UK government is more interested in
putting up museum buildings than getting our history
out of the files and into the public domain on the
internet. The government also exhibits an obsessive
desire NOT to publicise some parts of our past - which
probably accounts for it.

I think that the business of putting a part of our
common history into a private venture like a book in
fact tends towards censoring of history for one bad
reason or another and I think that web publishing of
history is the better way forward.
