However, despite the many read-throughs the proof-readers undertook (two) and myself (countless) there might well be something we’ve missed. It happens to the best of authors, proof-readers and publishers – and even AI (Artificial Incompetence) gets things wrong - but I’ll tell you what, if some smart git comes up to me, taps me on the shoulder and engages me in conversation starting with ‘By the way, did you not notice …. ‘.
Then be warned, I will not be held responsible for the ensuing consequences, which will either be a moothfae of dandruff (Glasgow kiss) or a boot up the exhaust depending on which way the complainant is facing at the time of utterance. And who knows? Some of the attending ‘Bears’ may well take umbrage at any slight to my person!
There are a couple of folk who in the past have taken great delight in pointing out any little errors that may have crept in to the narrative or style and to them I would advise extreme caution in their approach and choice of words. If they are not careful, even the nearest faraway place will not be a safe haven for them! I have gone skelly-eyed reading through this umpteen times and toleration levels are extremely low.
Anyway, job done, it has now been passed to the printer and book binder to do their stuff. As things stand we are on course for an early November launch but I will keep you appraised of date and location if you fancy attending the ‘official’ launch – in its now customary salubrious surrounding!
Copies of the first two books are still available:
