Re: PDML annual arrived
My copy of the PDML Annual 2016 did arrive Tuesday. I've only had the moment to skim through it, but it is immediately obvious that another fine PDML Annual graces my shelf tonight! Bravo to everyone for their wonderful photographs, and another bravo to Mark Roberts for assembling this fine book! Thanks!
