thanks, john, for the suggestions and the link. time to go bookshopping :) i am sure it'd be a much cheaper affair after the splurge on K and A lenses.
the problem (fun part?) is i'll have to trawl the second-hand book shops. most of the 'mainstream' book shops have become 'lifestyle' shops and tend to stock mostly the bestsellers and books from the big publishers besides having a host of other things that have nothing to do with books. regards, subash On 12/18/06, John Forbes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Subash, > > If you enjoyed that, try (if you haven't already) Chichester's "Along the > Clipper Way".
