WESTERN FICTION.

This is a one-time opportunity to get hold of a shelf full of hard-cover Westerns from authors like Zane Grey etc. etc.
Over 100 titles..... to be sold in one lot....

See the Fiction Database for titles. Enter 'western' in 'type of book' search page.

then email Rosemary at bmilibrary@ncable.net.au with your details and for prices etc.

New arrivals in the reference collection include a complete early 20th. century collection of the prestigious magazine 'Nature' including some bound volumes , and an archival collection of proceedings of  'The American Institute of Civil Engineers' from the latter part of the 19th. century to 1938, including some from the Australian Institute of Civil Engineers..  Both these series will enhance our existing collection, and they cover a very interesting and enlightened period of engineering and science.
They are not as yet listed on the on-line database, and details can be obtained at the BMI.
Some of the previously listed volumes of 'Nature' are on-line.

The lending library regularly updates the shelves with the latest publications.
Because this is a subscription library, borrowing is not extremely heavy, meaning that there is not a huge or long waiting list for popular loans.
