Your Copy

For a number of years Will's wife and sons sold physical, paperback copies of the book via this website and a number of other sources. Since September 2017, they decided to make a PDF copy of the book available for all to download free of charge. As such you can download your own free copy of the book here.

Just so you are aware, there are two almost identical versions of the book in circulation:
1. The original second edition, published in 2005, by Open House Publications - Bath (ISBN: 0955185904). The cover of the 2005 edition has black writing on a pink background (image on this page).
2. The revised second edition, published in 2017 (ISBN: 9781522010814). Available to download for free from the link above and to buy via print on demand below. The cover of the 2017 edition is also on this page and has white writing on a green-brown background.

To be clear, both 2005 and 2017 second editions are almost entirely identical in text content. The different ISBNs and cover images are simply a result of allowing the work to be downloaded for free above and printed on demand below.

If, for any reason, you wish to order a physical, paperback copy of the book - this is available via:
