<P>Hello David,<BR><BR>Thank you for your order.<BR><BR>It is not my intention
to produce facsimile reprints of all 'County' bell books. That would be
a humungous task and I neither have the desire nor the readies to fund such an
undertaking. However, Shropshire and Worcestershire may be possible
depending upon their size. Perhaps I'll have a go at putting together a
single volume for Lancashire at some time too.<BR><BR>First though I need
access to an original copy. That is always a vital step. <BR><BR>Unlike
early general bell ringing books, the market for the county books is even more
limited. Having said that, I have orders for 15 copies of Church Bells
of Cornwall and I have not even advertised it!<BR><BR>Best
wishes<BR><BR>Alan<BR><BR>David Cawley wrote:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What a welcome suggestion from Alan. I think a
reprint of Cornwall is particularly to be desired.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Elsewhere there was an indication that there
might be some problem with works published in parts. Fred Sharpe never had
any such problem when "Berkshire" was reprinted in 1970, along with the list
of amendments and some extra photographs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I feel that Alan deserves particular praise and
support for suggesting piloting the early County Bell Books.
Whilst they may be "out of date" as to some present tower
contents, they recall a period in the history of the tower which is of
interest in its own right. Old "method" book reprints are to me at any rate
no substitute for the "feel" of the real thing. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes indeed, put me down for
"Cornwall".</FONT></DIV>

[Bell Historians] Future Facsimile Books</DIV>

<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>Hello Everyone,<BR><BR>Your assistance is needed with the next
project.<BR><BR>As the proposed facsimile of Troyte has received a
lukewarm reception, I am shelving it at this time and plan to do Stedman,
1903, by Rev. Davies. As this was a Jasper Snowdon Change-Ringing
Series item, would there be any chance of a copyright problem or not?
Input would be most appreciated.<BR><BR>Secondly, although not a
'general' ringing book, I'm preparing a facsimile of 'The Church Bells
of Cornwall' using the recently advertised CD, with their
permission.<BR><BR>If anyone is interested, please let me know.
<BR><BR>Best wishes<BR><BR>Alan Ellis<BR><BR><BR></P>
