There are Book Searchers who will seel out copies of books for you but you will pay apremium for these as they will alos add on their fees for sourcing and purchasing on your behalf. However, the Friends of Minack Society would suggest that you purchase them through the the places suggested on our page entitled ~ " Where can you buy the books? "
	Before coming to Minack Derek also wrote three other books which were about his life and views on matters important to him at that time. The books are as follows:
	'One King' This was about his views and political beliefs.
	'Time was Mine' Principally about his adventures when he decided to go off travelling for a time and ended up on a South Sea island!
	'Went the Day Well' This was first printed in 1942 and was reissued in 1995. Derek edited a number of stories from people during the Second World War and it was his belief that we should remember those who gave their lives for freedom.
