First feedback on the P&O 175 Book

Well, it's the last day of 2011 and people have just started to received their copies of the P&O 175 Celebration book. Only one lot of feedback so far, but the good news is that it is very positive - phew!!  After such a roller-coaster journey to produce it in just a few months, it is always nervewracking waiting for the reactions when the public first get their hands on it. To the author it is their baby - nurtured, slogged over and eventually given away (to the publisher). To get the word count right, every phrase was agonised over - does it add to the story, do we need to include this, can we rephrase it in fewer words, and so on.  Add to that the incredibly difficult decision over which images to include (less than a third of what we started with!) and you start to get an idea of why we now wait with bated breath!!
