Good luck with it, there's nothing I want and can afford, but you used a term unfamiliar to me, and I wonder if you could clarify:

I'm interested in the term "fairground" which is unfamiliar to me...or maybe it's something else--there's a strange character before it, looks like an O-E ligature, but I'm guessing it's a computer artifact.

In any case, I'm quite interested in this, as I maintain an extensive online Bicycle Glossary, and wonder if this is something I should add?

All the best,
