When I retired
some years ago, little did I think my wife & I would spend 5 such totally
happy years in the Tropical Paradise of Nassau Bahamas, where we have made such
good sincere friends.
However, life, as they say, moves on, and with 1 delightful granddaughter
and grandson, after much soul searching, we have decided
we do need to move nearer our family.
I shall
continue to keep the large array of archived informative Web Pages listed here on-line, so please do feel free to browse them along
with their ten of thousands of scanned examples of antique maps, prints and illustrated books,
that I had the pleasure to deal in over some 25 years.
By way of a
retirement hobby, I shall be adding a small number of additional web references
pages,
hoping to keep in touch with the very many friends and customers it has
been my pleasure to meet over the years. I have greatly appreciate the mutual
trust that we built up together and take this opportunity to say a very sincere
'Thank You' to everyone.
Bill Bennett.
My wonderful wife, Julie, has
taken over the administration of the existing Postaprint offerings on eBay, so
do please check her inventory from time to time.
She has some interesting recent offers!
