THE GUIDE BOOK ARRIVES!

I thought that publishing the book myself would hurry things up a bit and, certainly, The Guide Book has arrived faster than Walk This Way, yet it is nearer the end of the season than the beginning and I have only just loaded the car with boxes of The Guide Book. It seemed like a big cheque to write and a lot of stuff to carry but I am ready to sell it now. If anyone reading this is interested in a copy email me on lerner70@btinternet.com or call on 07740628324 and I will send either a book for £7.99 or a 'free sample' via email for those who are curious.

The reason for the delay is the proof-reading and setting processes which take some time, especially if you are touring a good deal. There are still a couple of mistakes despite my 'careful' proofing. Memo to self - you need a third party proof reader to spot all the mistakes because the brain is primed to the facts and sometimes misses mistakes. EG I put the potato famine in the 'mid 1900s' not the mid 1800s, probably because I was halfway between the nineteenth century and the 1800s. I also missed out the section on Robin Hood and Lady Godiva and feel that there could have been more illustrations.

Still it is a good book and I am proud of it and expect to sell the 500 copies that are still in the car at the moment. Really...
