February 06, 2007: British Collector Finds Rare Military Book
"A RARE 19th century handbook of a former dragoon who fought at the battle of Waterloo has been uncovered by a collector from Horbury.
The tiny battered pocket book – The Soldier’s Friend and Traveller’s Vade Mecum – was bought by Richard Knowles, of Rickaro Books, Horbury, and is believed by him to be the only one surviving in the UK."
