Hello JB
Nice to see your eloquence on these pages once again.
I was never an Author, that is until Chris Rickets saw a Manuscript I had written ,originally for my Family. I offered it to him in response to his request for Artefacts for the Museum.
After reading it he persuaded me to let BOBA have it printed in book form so that any one looking at the list of available books could if they wished ,purchase it. I accepted this and we agreed I would get one free copy.
He had it printed with a good layout and a very good front piece.
As the idea of having it in book form was to give old boys a chance to purchase, I expected to see it appearing in the list of available shop goods . However that has never happened and I have never been told why. I even wrote to the President but he was obviously to busy to reply.
The Imperial War Museum has shown interest in these writings especially when they can associate it with the Author. As I am a World War Two Veteran this helps as well.
Good luck with your writing .
