You have perfect timing Paul, as I'm about to start work on a layout where some of these references will be very useful. I've already picked up a copy of the first book, but the references to some of the articles will definitely come in handy.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest Mark, I published this entry purely for my own use not thinking that anyone else would find it usefull! However, I'm glad that you can make use of it as well.
