This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.
"CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:
- faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected
- over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear
They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.

An account of the most significant Guild in 16th century Exeter. Previously an oath taken by members of the guild prevented them revealing the affairs of Merchant Adventurers, so little is known about them and they have been omitted from other history books.
In 1873, this changed with the publication of this book. The pages are full of the daring feats of the adventurers and how they battled to establish trade across the seas. Amongst the accounts are descriptions of Raleigh, Drake, Davis and the Gilberts.
