Subject: Re: More Axe

Hello Nicky,
Here is a roundup of all my publications from myself and Ray Hurford and Chris Prete that is currently available. When you look at my books you are looking at primarily information in the strictest sense, they are label history discographies aimed at the collector and people like Record Compilers, to most they are regarded as a bible of info.

Ray Hurfords books are in depth interviews with Jamaican Artists submitted by various writers and himself and presented in stories from the beginning etc through to now with bits of Discography info.

Chris Prete's books are a general covering of everything to do with Trojan Records past, present and future also covering special areas of the music in Discographies, Interviews, Charts etc etc.

I hope this might explain what one actually sees when looking at these books, these books are not the worlds best looking books but the info they contain beats most, all our publications are self-funded.

cheers

Roger
