| It takes some massive liberties with History, if I was 100% honest about it I would probably be sued for slander. Suffice to say a very large slice could be labelled 'as told by.............' Twin ply would be a better use of the money.

| Can't say I'm surprised. I heard her speak once at the NAM, sharing the stage with Knight and Snook. I know that's stiff company but I was decidedly underwhelmed. I think JY's book will be the new one to get, but it has not yet appeared.

| Steve,
I've only just sent the illustrations in for approval, so a few more months at least.
I'm in agreement with Frank over this latest offering. Lots of mis-spellings, suppositions and material which has previously been refuted by others.
That together with a number of totally unnecessary photographs did not help.
But that's just my opinion. I am sure others may enthuse over it...
I should realised what to expect when I saw that John Chard was depicted on the front cover wearing a blue tunic...
John Y. |

I will exercise patience. Like Frank I can't wait for the Victoria's Secret photos though - it's our age.

| Steve so that's why John is taking so long with the photos and captions, the plot thickens. |
