I still use it quite a lot Margaret, even though it is 1988 and some areas may need modification. I find it easy to use and quicker than google.. very simplistic and love the pretty colours..
Also, little tit bits of history in there and enjoy browsing through the adverts and the memories of the people that were associated with such groups as Girl Guides, swimming, camera clubs, etc.

Yes, I have found one or two errors Retlaw .... didn't realise they were deliberate ... more like omissions though.

I hope this project brings up more coincidences like that.

According to the information, Shurmer's Guide was printed by Daltons.
