SWA LIBRARY

Probably the biggest free loan
wargaming library in the world

by Steve Foster


Note: The SWA Library Loan is available only to SWA members, not MagWeb members. It is one of the many benefits to SWA membership--RL

The following items are available from the Library on a one month loan basis, those with a number i.e.(1) by them are borrowed direct from the member concerned. To order an item, send the details of which i.e. game and magazine you want to borrow, along with your item(s) you will be sent a slip which will give the exact postage, which will be re-funded by you when you return the item. Therefore total cost of the loan will be only P&P! If you have any items you wish to donate to the SWA Library please contact Steve Foster direct, before you send them. Thanks to Paul Oxberry for his recent donations.
