You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
British Military Airfield Architecture - Paul Francis was created by Paul Francis
I am now seriously thinking about re-doing my 1996 book, updating it and generally improving, adding more buildings, different site plans etc. I could probably get the latest edition out by Christmas.
British Military Airfield Architecture - Paul Francis
Hardcover: 224 pages
Publisher: Patrick Stephens Ltd; First Edition edition (6 Aug 1996)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 185260462X
ISBN-13: 978-1852604622
I will wait for 100 positive posts from 100 different members before doing anything - that will be a good indication as whether its worth going ahead with or not - over to you!
The idea of this thread is to show a publisher that it is a viable project so the posts on here can be used in support of the case (or not). The first stage is to scan the book and convert the text into Word - not something I am looking forward to doing.

Paul, I think the fact that abebooks.com are offering copies at £49.50, £70 and £129 says it all!

No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)
Replied by Peter Kirk on topic British Military Airfield Architecture - Paul Francis
There are quite a few of us on here that would like a an updated version, myself included but would that be enough?
You could take commitments from this forum and other contacts to assess likely print run.
I'm sure those with websites could also do some publicity. The word could also be spread via other forums.

Hi Paul
I would certainly buy another copy and as PNK said , so would many Forum members but that alone would not guarantee enough sales . Do you have a publisher in mind or would you self publish like you did with your Control Towers book or perhaps combine the two ? With the demise of PSL I suppose Haynes , Crecy or Crowood would be possible suitors or perhaps Midland Counties ?
No matter I'm sure you would get a lot of support and contributions from AiX and ARG members . Good luck .
All we need now is a certain aviation memorials book updated.........!
