Someone has taken a very sweary exception to the way he described Firth's Regimental History as "dismal". I hope Ian Gentles never sees Grimsby library’s copy of his book on the New Model Army.

I think in some of the books I have seen from my library they were done just to be annoying... Who the hell underlines the on the one page then and on the next page?? Highlighting a whole paragraph in fluoro doesn't really do much good as well... If it's one sentence or so per page then I can understand that.. but come on! Your right about second hand books tho! My ones for high school were second hand and the underlining was very good! The notes on the side were quite detailed as well, good thing I got the book of a high achiever hehe :) Anyhow keep up the great work :) Yeah some of the underlining is just ridiculous!?
