Hi All
Is there a CD available with all the current listings of letterboxes as i remember speaking to someone a very long time ago who said they had such a CD. Just wondered whether there was one available that was better that using the catalogue/

There is normally a guy at the meet - cant remember who off the top of my head - sells the catalogue on CD.
However these do not list the WOM series of letterboxes that can be found here there and everywhere

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum, this stands for
Word Of Mouth
These are clues exchanged between letterboxers who trust each other and are quite often on a swap basis.

Hi Suzley welcome to the site..
The CD is about £50 and the updates are about £30 a chuck
I will leave out my personal comments on this matter, only to say I did not buy one, I have just catalogued all the electronic updates.

£50-00? Would that be WITH the gilded, diamond-encrusted case?

Crumbs - just BUY a catalogue, and scan each page using OCR (Optical Character Resolution) software, then tidy it up and have somebody proofread it.
