ANNALS A SUCCESS

Des Guckian’s “ANNALS of ANNADUFF” is selling well. There is a small number left in local shops. Anyone intending to buy a copy should get one now before they are all gone.

An excellently produced DVD of the book launch, in Flynn’s Shannon Key West Hotel, Rooskey, can be ordered from Michael Frayne, Rooskey, or from Des Guckian. At 10 euro per copy, it is really good value.

Thanks to Marie Fitzpatrick, of The Linnet’s Wings, Dromod, there is an attractive “Annals of Annaduff” website to be viewed on the world-wide web. That too is worth a visit.
