Cool stuff Jim! I was in a small town outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin many years ago and they had a tiny bookstore, and there I found a couple of Grand Prix history books I had never heard of, one on Monaco and one on Watkins Glen. I had to be very careful with my food budget the rest of the trip.

It's amazing what you find in out-of-the-way places.

And the shop will be a Peter Rabbit/Beatrix Potter one

It was in Bowness town centre itself about 1/4 mile from the house we were staying in

I've just Googled it and found it straight away

Your not kidding Steve....usually the wife says "You've been in over a dozen bookshops this trip and never bought a thing. Why do you bother"?

Imagine her suprise when I said "I need to get to the bank today, give me some money , my eyes better not be deceiving me......U-boats in the Lake District"
