My interest is mainly railways, but the vast majority of railway literature is still in copyright. Most of the material in the Public Domain is pre-World War I. What there is, however, is targeted at the professional reader, rather than the hobbyist or enthusiast.

Consequently, I make occasional forays into military history or Proofread of the Month.

Works that I have helped with

 * Historical Record of the Fifty-Sixth, or the West Essex Regiment of Foot
 * One Hundred English Folksongs (but not the sheet music — that’s just too hard at the moment!)
 * Steam Locomotive Construction and Maintenance
