This is the first time I have been involved with the publication of a book. I did start out with a little trepidation but with the patience and understanding of Tom Blyth, Book Publishing manager of Bannister Publications Ltd, the end result proved that it was all very worth while. A few small hiccups occurred due to my working on an Imac and the material from Tom arriving in Word format. It didn't help either that I am only semi- computer literate and am in my 80's. Luckily my niece Joanna also had a big input and was also responsible in finding Bannister Publications in the first place. Tom Blyth's guidance in the book's style, typeface, binding and colour etc was invaluable. All in all, a very satisfactory and pleasing outcome to a great many months of my work, more months from my late brother Peter and several years from my late Father, the author of the family history just published as "The Bellamy Chronicles".
