  2. That's good news. Thanks for telling us about this!

    I've just gone on his blog now. It seems that some people are still going back to check it and even comment on his old posts. For example, I recalled a post on the Black Country, and found a whole new discussion conducted in April 2014. The blog is obviously still a useful resource for many.

  3. I just heard about this yesterday. I followed John's blog for years so I've probably already read everything that will be in this book, but I might buy it anyway.
