Dear fellow Soggies, May I thank those who made valuable suggestions to me about my 94 year old book? I have been made an offer which I cannot refuse from a FHS in the Home Counties. It is to use a book scanner which will not damage the book's spine. I am truly grateful to the contact for that offer. It would be invidious to name that society until full details have ben worked out. At some later stage I will approach one of the Society's Vice Presidents who works for part of TNA to see if the ban on the use of a table top stand for a digital camera could be lifted, and if necessary will come back to you all for support for my idea. Incidentally, I did use TNA complaint's procedure to ask for the actual figures for the WW1 Medal cards that had useful info on them and the statistical breakdown for the claimed percentage, alas, I got no reply to my contact. Many thanks, Phil.
