FUTURO 10 Posted June 4, 2012 yup I still have it Cool.. was wondering did your mum glue or tape the articles into the scrapbook? Must be a thick scrapbook, how many pages is it or what are the dimensions? Would it be possible to see some scans/photos of it? Would be nice to see the cover and a couple of the inside pages Maybe I could make you a better offer than you were given before thanks.. Len Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nubbi 10 Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) hi Len the book is 33cms x23cms and is very thick it weighs in at 2,5kgs - my mum used selotape and some of the articles have come loose with age but are all still in great shape and are all there, there really are a huge amount of articles. the photos are a bit large and i dont have a resizer so if you give me your email i will send them directly to you?

I remember them from my time there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Len I was there as I said and I knew nothing about the incident until about a week before the launch and it was very interesting. He did sign books for those that bought a copy.
