"Author" is just a small part! The book has 70 maps and these have been more work than the words. Editing is the most consuming. Trying to deal with the computer stuff is the most frustrating. I guess I may soon learn that selling is the hardest! I am now in the final editing and PDF'ing phase. Hopefully off to the printer in a couple of weeks. He is a small volume printer so I expect it will sit on his desk for a while before it is actually printed. I also still have to work out the copyright and ISBN issues.

Thanks everyone for the support.
