This is my Roscommon Books/Periodicals Want-List If you have any books, magazines, newspapers etc. from Roscommon, please contact me. If you
have something that does not appear on this list, I might still be interested because I might not have heard of it and therefore the omission. Roscommon related ephemera documents, billheads, posters, postcards, letters, photographs, envelopes, legal papers etc. etc. also wanted. A tick in the final column means I have a photocopy of the publication and need an original.
