DOWNES, BOB: It’s a Mystery

We are so often asked and agree that we probably should offer individual titles from the two definitive boxes for sale, though it’s unfortunately expensive to do, in spite of their being only essential information in the packaging (the detail is in the booklets). So we do this for a while and see how it goes.

MORE NEW STUFF - HOW TO BUILD A LIBRARY
From each update I will select those CDs I think most remarkable or important - those which I think should be in any living library - and offer a discount for anyone buying them all. There will be 2 categories must have and essential history. Offers will be available for either or both together. If you find this essential library idea useful, I will slowly work backwards and compile a list from the whole catalogue.Essential Library 1
