Labour Politician's of Penyffordd and District past

I have bought a copy of Maurice Evans' book The Flintshire Labour Party - its History and Growth. I purchased it for 2 reasons. One to see if any Penyffordd history was present and two to resell at a profit, one has to live. I have a couple of advantages and overheads over Maurice with regards marketing and purchase. At present Maurice's book is not visible on The Internet which it will be in an hour of writing this and also customers will be able to buy the book with a couple of mouse clicks.
( I fib it may be a day or three)

No writing letters and posting. Just three or four mouse clicks and its bought with full details of delivery such is the advantage of The Internet.
