We will be able to go from one to another when they all move to the new site. What a delightful amount of info will be available then to the intrepid mining enthusiast.

I tend to support the view print and be dammed , most books have their critics. Barton did produce a lot of interesting titles and can be basic guide.

I'm sad to report I purchased books from him when I first started in the morning book business. He had failing health and I am afraid some form of dementia. Tor mark took over his remaining stock and I suspect he and his wife probably sold up to be near family.someone earlier suggested the lakes.

Hope this clarifies questions people raised

Well, it was a long shot. Do you have anything to add about his character, etc.

Auto change should read Mining book business. Unfortunately only spoke to him in the first couple of years of business and his mental health deteriorated and never really got to know him. I was younger and nervous in the venture

Without any doubt at all, DBB fired my own enthusiasm for exploring and investigating the then slightly more intact remains of industrial archaeology in East Cornwall and West Devon.

Whatever the drawbacks of his initial work, I owe him (and Frank Booker) a considerable debt. If we can now improve upon the accuracy and reach of their work with access to enhanced resources, then so be it.

I swapped emails with Morrison last year, he's a mining engineer in Canada.
