Thank you for your kind words on the Henbury book Mal. Always a pleasure to hear
that one's work is appreciated by the community, particularly if the feedback is
as enthusiastic as your's.

For those who haven't had a chance to take a look, the book has recently been
added to Amazon's search inside function. By clicking on the cover you can flip
through some selected pages:

Of course, I'm still taking orders.

Best regards
