Can anyone help please.
Also "British Army in Ulster Vol 4."TURNING and turning in the widening gyre

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

Re: Frank Kitson
Try www.amazon.co.uk
or Barnes & Noble,
they both have some of Kitson, but at high prices for what you're asking. :(Vápnum sÃ*num skal-a maðr velli á

However at either £45 or £100, you might consider going to steal it from your local library!PRISTINAE VIRTUTIS MEMOR

Re: Frank Kitson
I'm in the US- there are 2 copies listed for sale on Amazon (US) (2nd hand obviously) and both are priced at $900.

Did I say 'steal'? Sorry, I meant, of course, borrow! Do you have libraries in the New World? Originally Posted by kabulronin

Re: Frank Kitson
You can also try Ebay, from time to time his books come up. At the moment there are 16 offers, none of the titles your're asking for though. He's been very popular lately, so it will cost you.

Re: Frank Kitson
QM, I think THEY have libraries over here in the colonies but I really don't expect a library in Baltimore to stock such material.
And given that Mickey Spillane is their greatest contribution to world literature one doesn't ecpect much from them.TURNING and turning in the widening gyre

Re: Frank Kitson
Matey, if only you'd asked me 32 years ago - he was my Old Man's boss in Lubbecke (HQ 2 Armd Div) then and EVERYONE had a bloody copy of his wretched books. Mind you most people had drawings done of their kids too, done by his Mrs - dreadful, but no-one dared to complain! Originally Posted by kabulronin

Re: Frank Kitson
Sounds dreadful! I read Low Intensity Operations back then and still have it but never owned the other two.
I have to say I think if people went back to LIO they might learn a bit....TURNING and turning in the widening gyre

I might actually have two copies of one of Kitson's books, so I'll check.

Re: Frank Kitson
I never found Damaged over here.
And thanks for looking, if you have a spare I can give you a UK address to send it to and refund the postage!TURNING and turning in the widening gyre

Re: Frank Kitson
"Gangs and Counter Gangs" is a tough one to find and usually sells for big money. I've seen it twice on eBay over the last three or four years and was outbidded each time.
