I have been trying to locate a copy of a book that may have some photos of my ancestors in. Unfortunately the book is out of print at the moment and I have been searching ebay and other internet sites such as amazon to see if they have a copy, but to no avail. The Book is Aberteifi (or Cardigan) and Lower Teifi Valley in old Photographs by Suttons Publishing. Has anyone a copy of this that would part with it or know of anywhere that has one. Regards Ellen

Have you contacted the British Library. I thought they had a copy of every book. Pippa

Hi, I was on holiday in the area recently and I'm almost sure I saw copies in the remaindered book shop on Cardigan. The local paper is the Tivyside Advertiser - maybe they could help. Gwynne

Hi Gwynne When I was in Cardigan October 2004 I tried to get this book then but no one had a copy. The book shop you are on about is it a small, overcrowded with books and near the end of the High Street near the theatre? If so I've got an aunt living there and I can ask her to go in and see. Hi Judy Have just been on the site and yes I think that is the book I'm looking for. Will wait till later and ring them just to make sure. Many thanks Ellen

You may find the local family history society can get you a copy?

Hi Ellen, It's at the top of the hill as you go into Cardigan - it used to be a cinema. It's alongside Gandalf's Garden and opposite a shop called Helm's Deep. Gwynne
