Just ordered the Tribal Battle and Darings hard cover, as well as some IRN BRU. Kinda bitter sweet, for it will be the last book I buy before I move to a new place as well. A lot of books to pack soon.
If you build book shelves consider doing a hinged type to fit twice as many books along the same area of wall, just make the hinged section for smaller books as in paper and trade back sized ones. 10inch for along the wall 6inch moving shelf.
For The Move Next Time: From bitter experience: Use small boxes for books and heavy stuff when possible (as a art historian I have had big fat heavy books-think recent Jane's Fighting Ships). If you have to use big boxes for big books, fill top half with light stuff. Better lots of sort-of heavy boxes than fewer super heavy back breaking boxes. Conserve historic ships and current naval historians!
We did use the smallest boxes for the books... and they still were that...although I'm never moving again, I'm just going to build on to this place or park a caravan in the front if I need more space!
Not history related, but I've noticed that you and Drach both use the term "reckon" fairly often. This is a regionalism in US English, typically southeastern. Is it a regionalism in the UK as well (and if so what areas), or fairly universal? Or did you pick it up from Americans?
If you get the Fairey Swordfish in the 1920s, you not only kill off the Blackburn T.5 Ripon, Blackburn B.6 Shark and Blackburn T.8 Baffin torpedo-bombers but also you effectively kill off the Blackburn R.1 Blackburn, the Fairey 3 and the Fairey Flycatcher as well correct? And in the 1920s, if you get the Gloster Sea Gladiator, you kill the Hawker Nimrod and Hawker Osprey correct? the Sea Gladiator is better than both of them The Blackburn Skua and Blackburn Roc would actually be superior for a while now that i think about it oh wait, Eagle, Furious and Argus have monoplane fighters, frankly what is the point of the bi-planes if you have them?

Nice to have you back

Rats, missed you. Next week!
Looks like the Blackburn Blackburn delivered your boxes. I hate moving.

I learned this the hard way myself. Hopefully I never have to move again.

It's fairly common, but I would say it's strongest in the South West & South... as there are a greater variety used for that purpose in the North...
