Books

Here we have a collection of some of the books used in my research for this website. You can find a lot of the books at the local library in Prestatyn, or you can try searching for them on various websites like Ebay, Amazon and AbeBooks. Another excellent website is Google Books where you can find, view and read online books. You can also purchase books from Gwasg Helygain Press or from their shop in Rhyl.
