@graeme-ogg Graeme;  I am disappointed to hear there is no publishing house support for your book, considering the number of  persons covered in your "meticulous" research and what they have to offer the world.  I have discussed your book with many Forumites who fondly recall your research interviews; although none actually understood what you meant at the time due to your multisyllable words, your responses requiring longer than a five second attention span and also because we were busy playing with our models at the time.  Would it assist if perhaps you included many filler pages with pictures and personal backgrounds of all interviewees, including group photos?  Obviously anyone reading your book would be fascinated by us and it would bolster your credibility as an astute researcher.  Let me know if this is of assistance.  Tata for now...I must dash off to a tailglandoscopy.

Oh goodness me, yes. Lovely. I'll take anything you guys are willing to supply. Personal résumés, records of ancestry searches, school reports, photos, audio interviews, videos of TV appearances, after-dinner speeches, Nobel award ceremonies, waterboarding, etc., police mugshots, probation reports, psychiatric reports, DNA samples, extracts from your original fiction or non-fiction writings, crayon drawings, personal musical compositions on 8-track cassette, examples of hand-sewn mailbags, restraint garments or decorative embroidery -  whatever you can conveniently put together to provide the full picture. Scanned copies of personal signatures would be useful (a frontispiece of artistically arranged "X"s of various sizes and colours and degrees of legibility would make an unusual and attractive feature.)

I envision perhaps a rather sumptuous 500-page coffee table book bound in dinosaur hide, with pages in attractive shades of pastel pink and green and incorporating full-colour pop-up double spreads and holograms. The elaborately tooled front cover would include discreet pouches for dark glasses, incontinence pants and medications.

Price to be announced.

My CC # is here in hand... BTW... is shipping free ?

Hmm, seat rotation it's always a good thing.  I haven't seen seat rotation since some of those early to mid 60s Plymouths...

Have no concerns for my intellect. From early on, I was considered a genius. As a matter of fact, my fifth-grade teacher said, "I can't seem to teach you anything. You already know it all, don't you?" 

Of course your fifth grade teacher was quite right...after all you were seventeen.

@jack-dodds, I was quite proud to be the tallest boy in my class.

Lol.  YES!  And the only one that drove to school and who could grow a beard.
