Do you mean the sales letter templates they had for sale for pubs, hotels etc? I have them they are pretty crap. I wouldn't dare send them out.

They are the onces   When I first started I spent hours with my magnifying glass reading them of Ashcombes and then Extracta Catalogue I presume they got them and the Lloyd Owen Manual they were selling when ashcombes went bust. They also had a Fire and Flood manual I would have paid 50p for in receivers sale

There was one went something like Cordon Bleu Restaurant deserves Cordon Blu carpets  There was a Company in Huddersfield called Ashleys  I think he nicked their leaflet and used to sell it. Again I think it might have started out at Ashcombes .  Ashleys also did a book of Market Letters but I never bought it but would not mind betting they were also lifted from Ashcombe or Extracta

But that was way before Fast Track etc
