In addition to the above, Colin has published several old books
on CD-ROM
including "Whitaker's History of Craven"
for details see /www.blunham.demon.co.uk/CDroms/Craven/
For anyone interested in the Craven area this CD is a must!
Each page is individually scanned from the very expensive original

[even if you can find a copy] it's a real bargain!
