Our prize winners from last week
Congratulations again to Bill Dewar, Jim Beverley and Chris Mawdsley. These pre-buyers of Speed Graphics and Steam 1958! vol. 1 won the signed artist’s print, the station kit, and the free pass to the press check (and lunch with the author) respectively.
Progress on the book
Speed Graphics and Steam 1958! vol. 1 is complete as far as the manuscript and layout are concerned. Jim Brown and I are now finalizing the pictures for the volume, making sure they are of optimal sharpness and contrast so they leap off the page!
I anticipate we will go to press by no later than the end of this month.
