Thanks v much for all that info, but really looking to find one to give as a present. :)

they were originally sold by North of Scotland newspapers, which is located in Wick. the contact number is 01955 602424. i believe they sold out of all the copies but they might have a spare in stock or something

[caithnessgirl]

yeh they are out of print now. might give it a try though, thanks.
Does anyone here have or know anyone who has a spare one, willing to sell?

Hi... My uncle is Jim Miller. I don't know if he has any spare copies of his book. But he is in Germany right now. But if you want PM me and I can give you his e-mail address and you can email him and ask him.

Try D R Simpson in Wick, Jimbews in Thurso if no luck go to Amazon.co.uk : :lol:

It's worth checking Ebay once in a while to see if any local stuff like this is being sold. I just checked for you but no go the noo. :) Trouble is if you search using 'Caithness' all you get is Caithness glass being offered. Recently there was a rail ticket from Forsinard to London, 1902 or so for sale, if you like that kind of thing (£0.99 and no bidders!) :confused

I found 'A Peer Into The Past' by Clive Richards on www.amazon.co.uk for £15.95

Don't know if this is the book you're looking for?

They have loads of books on Caithness. All you need to do is put Caithness into the search under books.

i thought it was called peek into the past, but is this the same book do you think?

[Liz]

I'm not sure as it doesn't give any info about the book. It would be worth contacting Clive Richards to ask?

Hope you get it!

I've had a look on Amazon's website again and the book I found was published by North of Scotland Newspapers on December 10,2004 and is a paperback with 220 pages.

Hope this helps!

Did he used to accompany wayward shots with the cry "Fuhrer"?

I know he wasn't much good at golf as he was reported to have spent a lot of time in the bunker!!

Not a patch on Montgomery!!

[caithnessgirl]

i can just re-sell it on amazon or ebay. not to worry, waiting for delivery this week. thanks again for all the help!! :D
