Dear William Rees, I've been given your DIY dictionary for Christmas - it's great, thanks for compiling it - but - a question please.

Dear Mr Rees, Thank you for forwarding me a copy of your book. Unfortunately term finishes early in Adult Ed. I did manage to show it and give details to one class today, but will have to wait until the New Year to tell the others. It is certainly something they often ask for, and I am woefully unable to supply. Good Luck.

E-mail from RML.
