As a consumer of archive products myself (okay, that's probably an obvious no-brainer, I know) I realise the wait has become a bit painful now. You've inspired me to try and set out in a new post here why, actually, it's rather fortuitous that the book hasn't happened until now :-O<br /><br />Controversial ;)<br /><br />Well, I hope not, but it might help to explain how things have panned out... keep watching!<br /><br />RobRob Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260640106869370070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-53604903512701957402021-03-17T07:41:01.989-07:002021-03-17T07:41:01.989-07:00I'll just say: I'd so much like to see the...I'll just say: I'd so much like to see the book published.<br />You're doing an amazing work, and I completely understand that this is an undertaking that requires a lot of time (I work in publishing...), but I wonder if we'll ever be able to buy it (and make you rich ;-) ). It's been nine years since you first announced that the book was over half complete...<br /><br />Best,<br />DavideAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185589438688833157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-34679872148769738612021-03-12T04:06:25.638-08:002021-03-12T04:06:25.638-08:00Thanks Gerry - keep watching for further posts...Thanks Gerry - keep watching for further posts...Rob Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260640106869370070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-39545404892475909912021-03-12T04:05:45.692-08:002021-03-12T04:05:45.692-08:00Would that I could have completed it sooner, but f...Would that I could have completed it sooner, but for various personal factors have slowed em down. In a way that's worked out for the best, as its only now that the remaining things I needed to see or access have come together, and the book would not have been what its now become in many respects. I think the generational spread is wider than that, though, as there's the audience from the 80s and 90s era to consider too.Rob Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260640106869370070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-43720376561634040032021-03-11T11:26:42.801-08:002021-03-11T11:26:42.801-08:00You realise your potential audience is dwindling w...You realise your potential audience is dwindling with each passing year, Rob, as your book is mainly going to appeal to the '60s & '70s generation. We ain't getting any younger. Please - hurry it up while I'm still around.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-5813473608517069012021-03-11T03:54:04.306-08:002021-03-11T03:54:04.306-08:00Really looking forward to this !Really looking forward to this !Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145564657475384458noreply@blogger.com
