Book Update

 For those that are following the Facebook page you will have already seen mention of the progress of the book so here is a more complete update.
 There are a couple of reasons why the book has been delayed:
 Firstly, I still require a couple of dozen references for the work, these have been difficult to acquire due to the inconsistent weather over the year. I do need a period of 4 days to get over to Wasdale where most of these references lie. My routes are all planned and they include a couple of nights wild camping I need to make sure that the weather is suitable.
 Secondly, a most importantly, as some of you may already know, whilst I continue to work my way through the project I also progress on the design of the book. This will mean that as soon as the sketches are all complete there will be little delay in getting the manuscript to the printers.

However, there is one factor which has meant the re-designing of the book. The original plan was to include as many of the sketches in the volume as I considered that including the full number of the sketches would have been impractical. Whilst working on the design I found it quite a challenge to pick which sketches to omit. So now I have decided to include every single one of the sketches, this has meant some re-working of the layout and of course making the number of pages larger. It does of course mean that the book will be a truly complete record of the project and every single one of the sketches which AW placed in the Pictorial Guides will be there including thiose which have been cut from the revised guides.

 In fact, there will be more sketches in the book than AW did, but thats a secret for now.
