Artair Macmora (Arthur Starkey) sent to England to get these books after a long search trying to find them. He had gotten them on interlibrary loan once or twice and really felt he needed to get a copy for his personal reference since they had so much information in them and were hard to continually get on loan.   He very much enjoyed them and used them as a reference quit often.  When he first found out about these books he found that they were considered to be “the bible of  “Celtic life”  There were only something like 25 printed originally.  
 
I am asking $200 for the set plus shipping including insurance.  They are in mint condition.  Rose Macmora  Nancy Starkey 103 Spring Rd Bartlesville, OK 74003 1-918-336-9120
