This section indicates some of our intentions for the next year or so, although it must be admitted that there is sometimes a very long gap between announcement and completion. Books that are available and in print on our current list are found in the classified section of the website below. If it is out of print and unavailable, it is not listed. You are welcome to communicate with me if you have a query about an old title and whether it will ever be reprinted. GENERAL NEWS The following books are in active preparation, more likely dependent
on the bank manager than any other practical consideration.
