Dear Alastair Gunn, 

I got your name and the reference to your book from a philatelist from Bahrain (Thomas Johansen) as I am currently researching images for a forthcoming publication by Professor Alastair Hamilton (Arcadian Series) to be published by Oxford University Press entitled "The Western Discovery of Oman" and he is including images of the postage stamps and the designs by Lewis Morland for the stamps. I have tried to order your book "Aspects of Omani Postal History" as well as "Arabian Postal History Quarterly" but unfortunately I would have to order it from the United States and it seems that I cannot order both anyway (plus the print on demand business) and time is not on my side, as I need to get the new edition to the author asap. So I was wondering if I could be so bold and ask you if it would be 
 possible for you to send the Arcadian Library a copy of each book and I would reimburse you for your kind effort? Of course it depends on how long it would take to send these to the UK etc. but I thought it worthwhile to at least ask you. 

With my very best wishes and I hope to hear from you in the near future. If you could let me know at your earliest convenience if you are not able to furnish us with a copy, I would be most grateful, as I would then continue to find a second-hand copy. 

I have copied my home email into this correspondence as I have no remote
access to the email of the Arcadian Library over the Bank Holiday weekend.
