No...I'm trying to live on a VERY minimal pension...which allows for the
purchase of a very few 78's...but NOT for the 21st-century postage costs
to get them up here to Oshawam Ont'o., Canada...?!

I bought several hundred (at least) British 78's from UK auction lists...in 
fact
I was well-known at the customs facility at Toronto's Union Station...and 
only
ONCE did someone notice that the author of the relevant book...and the
name of the parcel's recipient...were identical!!
