    I realise that no-one involved wants to loose money over this, but could
    you arrange for a copy to be placed in the library at the Palace of
    Westminster, or wherever MPs get their reading material from.

    Be interested to know if the two photos they asked to use of mine made
    it into the book.

    By law one copy should go each to Oxford , Cambridge and Dublin Unis and
    one to the British library

    Hmmm... fill in my credit card details on a non-secure web page? I
    don't think so!

    The forms are in frames (spit) which ARE secure - or at least, served
    via https, from Paypal itself.

    Never mind that, how about one for every local authority Highways
    Manager in Britain. I'll start the ball rolling and buy a copy for
    Hampshire...

    This "secure credit card" lark is a bit of a red-herring really. After
    all, you show your credit card and all its numbers to all sorts of
    shop assistants, waiters, ordering by phone and all the rest. And yet
    everyone worries about someone snooping numbers off the web. "Secure"
    is better, but not the worry it's made out to be.

    The amazing thing is that Visa are introducing "3-d secure" which is
    technically secure, but totally disastrous from a process / people
    point of view, and would be sheer madness for any punter to touch with
    a [censored] stick. Still, it is "secure"

    Gone off-topic a bit, never mind.

    Still the book's a good thing. I've seen very few facilities of any
    value, and most are positively dangerous. Quite why a white line
    painted on a road makes you safer I don't know. This encourages cars
    to miss you by a thou' rather than giving you a good couple of inches
    safe clearance. And that's quite apart from forcing you to ride on
    slippery white paint rather than grippy tarmac

    What about the National Library Of Scotland and of Wales? They are
    legal deposit libraries too.

    The British Library is entitled to receive a copy of every work
    published. The others are entitled to receive a copy of every work
    which they request (there is an agent that handles this for all the
    other five) provided they make that request within 12 months of
    publication.

    Found it by my front door when I got in this evening, it is very good.
