I was interested to read in your card that you've two more works in progress. Presume one is Experiences of a Self Published Author' . More later.
I hope you won't take offence but your big book is full of typos and other inconsistencies.
1 It's usual to index by surname. Looked for K Jones (see below) and saw that if anyone is looking for John Fuller, he's not
under F. F Jones ought to be in a bibliography. Your references are scattered.
2 On p 255 it's Shyam Patiar but on the next page he's Shyan Pattiar.
3 p 86 a different v different a
4 p 136 inappropriate use of - in in-appropriate
a married women
5 p 152 You talk about Tenants and Tennants and use an unnecessary ' in Tenant's
'The Likes of 'Er' might be better as "The Likes of 'Er' "
6 In fact, your use of ' is generally askew despite my considerable
elaboration sent to you well before publication. I can only give a few
examples:
155 wholesaler's 158 Londoner's in line 9 but it's OK further down.
(( Mac-Rae or Macrae - when faced with this type of Q it's easy to look 'em up

261 employer's
the 1950's v 1950s and 50's v 50s the matter will never be
taken to court - it's personal preference.
However, in a serious work
I'd recommend no '.

One of your leaflets includes brouser .
Perhaps you will consider Experiences of a Self-published Author. It's arbitrary.

I really must stop. All I want to do is to minimise the extent you portray yourself as - well - I 'll leave the words to you.
I wish you well and mean well.
My priorities at present include developing my next mag article here and a website on the carer world here. Any comments will be appreciated. Update 19 March 2014 - none.
Before finishing, my wife and I went to the Isle of Wight c 2010. While there, I met Nigel Holland. He told me about various meetings involving members of our 1959 to 1961 group at Pompey. Have you been to any such meetings and would you know when there will be more?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was in the London Guildhall library in October 2013 doing research for here I came across "A H Jones of Grosvenor House" by K Jones. You have surely used it in your book but I can't find anything in the Index. If, by chance, you haven't, you know where to find it.
"the Index" raises another anomaly. It's normally the one at the back. You have one at the front and there's no page numbers. Wouldn't it be better titled "Contents" and include page numbers?
From you - 16 Dec 2012
I was invited to the 90th banquet of the PIGS at Southdown College Waterlooville Hants before I left which was interesting and the students and staff were highly motivated to achieve excellence. This is shortly to appear on my webpage www.arthursimmspioneer.com and I will also enter it onto Yola as well.
Thank you for your comments and also the attachment concerning A.H Jones who features prominently in my chapter on the development of the Hotel and Catering Institute as you know.
I am unclear about your other remarks however which I'm afraid lack details. Perhaps you would be kind to enough to list them so that corrections could be made for a second edition should there be one. The book was pub lished two years ago.
