Query resolved. I rang Norman and he says that |Q|he could have phrased it better.|Q| As 12 out of the 17 names mentioned I know to be dead I assumed the remaining five were also. My mistake.
In the Acknowledgments of this new edition, the authors list a number of ‘pals’ who have died since the first edition was published in 1995. Included are Greg van Wyngarden and Stewart Taylor. I have not seen this reported anywhere. If correct this is sad news. I was in touch with Greg very recently.
AlexHi Alex, I can’t speak for Greg, but I was chatting to Stewart in Canada about fifteen minutes ago and can comfirm that he seems very much alive! Cheers, Colin
No, there’s nothing new in the text, but neither the publisher or the authors claim that there is. In my opinion, what makes this new edition worth having is the greatly improved design, plus the illustrations. Quite a few of these are new, all much better reproduced than in the original,in no small part due to the superior quality of the paper throughout the book. In a recent review, I highly recommended it.
