An update on the Reliant book....
Despite the fact that Elvis & I worked our socks off to meet Crecy Publishing's deadline of 30th April with 20,000 words & 100 photos, we had a message a couple of weeks later whereby they had discovered that their template for the new range of Nostalgia Road books was set to only 13,000 words & 90 pictures! (This from a company with 40 years in the book production business behind them, but I digress).
As the reader can no doubt imagine, this caused no end of difficulties for us both as with a sharp reduction down to 17,000 words there rapidly proved to be nowhere else to go without loosing the very point of the book. But still we had to cut more But there was a silver lining to this cloud. After some negotiations, we have persuaded Crecy Publishing to extend the title into two volumes, being: The Reliant Three-Wheeler 1935-1973 and The Reliant Three-Wheeler 1974-2002.
This way, we do not loose any of the detail of the original work and can expand much further upon the latter days of the Reliant company, something never before done in print as of yet.
We have just completed & returned the reworking of volume 1, and this should be out on the shelf as planned within the next couple of months. Stay tuned for the ongoing developments of volume 2....
