I have to say that I am rather hestitant to invest in this, as I found the author's Norfolk survey very disappointing. Less than half the job done; no details of frame and fittings unless they were of particular interest, no weights and diameters, little on the history of the installation except if it was of particular interest to the author.

On the other hand, I would be first in the queue for any further offerings from Chris Dalton, Chris Pickford, et al, where I can be sure that everything will have been painstakingly researched and no details overlooked.

I think that people publishing bell-related material should be supported - it can be hard to finance projects like this, and if those who are interested in bells don't support them this could lead to fewer people taking risks in future, which will lead to less information reaching publication. We don't want this to happen.

As most of you are doubtless aware, Norwich was one of the main early centres of change ringing, and in consequence this book is likely to be of use to those who are interested in the history of change ringing, as well as those who are interested in bells themselves.
