A close friend and reenacting/living history pard of mine once did some exquiste maps for an article written by a freind of ours who was a National Park Service Historian. When the article appeared in the magazine, it was so heavily edited that only two sentences of the original text remained, many sentences contained historical errors, and my friend's maps were no where to be seen. This did not upset him so much as the fact that the maps they substituted were incorrect. The friend that wrote the article (it was in a popular, nationally circualted magazine) was mortified, as his professional reputation as a historian could have been seriously comprimised. The lesson? When you submit an article to a magazine, you are literally at the mercy of the editor(s). Geto hold of a good one, and you have no worries. Get hold of one that doesn't give a flipm and you've got troubles from quarters you never imagined. I have seen folks I know on model railroad lists have to post to the list with corrections to articles they had published which the magazine/editors screwed up. There is always the possibility, however slim, that someone intended to credit Matt. I amvery interested in what SAMI has to say. I bought that issue solely for the Morane article.

From a purely selfish perspective it seems to me that any nation with the gold plated stupidity to tax sales via the Internet will handicap their own businesses to the benefit of those in countries not so bloody stupid. I like the idea of our exchange rate improving vis a vis the Euro Which, sad to say, may not always include Australia if the dopey ideas the local pollies have to try to stop net porn is a guide.

I called up the U.S. Customs once to ask about paying taxes on purchases abroad. If I recall correctly, model kits constitute toys and there was no import tax. There are, however, taxes on clothes and a bunch of other stuff (my Spurs soccer shirt) was subject to tax.

NEXUS did approach me last year with a proposal to reprint my book. I offered to update it and prepared a manuscript and all illustrations. So far NEXUS have failed to do anything and despite the fact that I have a signed contract in which they agreed to pay me a certain sum on receipt of the manuscript I have received nothing. I personally think NEXUS is a pretty incompetant company. I have so far only been in correspondence with their "Publication Editor" who works from home and I feel can do nothing as he does not want to lose his job. I am shortly to write a long letter to the Managing Director of NEXUS in which the whole picture will be laid out. I shall send you a copy of this letter. You are not the only one who has suggested putting the book on the internet and three publishers have offered to reprint it. I regret that I do not have a computer. yours sincerely Harry Woodman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- call me an optomist but I am encouraged to believe that we may yet see a reprint.
