My latest completed proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books was a picture album dedicated to the last decade of service to the various London bus companies by the legendary Routemaster bus.

My latest completed proofread for Pen & Sword Books was something a little different from my normal ‘beat’, the title being Motorsport’s Military Heroes, the manuscript being made up of mini-biographies of motor racing drivers of the past who had either received bravery awards or served with the military forces of their respective nations. The author […]
My latest completed proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books was the second volume of what is planned to be a three-book set about the classic ‘Castle’ class steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway (GWR).

Author David Beddall has created a most comprehensive account […]

My latest completed proofreading project was yet another title on a Welsh railway subject, this time the focus being on South and Central Wales and the local coal industry in its pomp.
