dorling kindersley books

Meanwhile, back at the office, the team are inventing a practical way of dealing with Bill and Richard's extensive narrative whilst accommodating what is approaching 6500 scans of relevant images. As it turns out, only the tip of the Iceberg.

We have to remind ourselves, the reason why DK is doing this book is the Iceberg: the bit which floats above the water is Wyman's Diary (kept daily and scrupulously for the last 40 years); the bit below the water is Wyman's Collection (assembled equally scrupulously over the same period).

We've already had a taste of the submerged bit.

Richard H gives me a small example of the visible bit of the Iceberg: "Andrew, you know Bill has just sent me 45,000 words extracted from the Diary - just on recording Beggar's Banquet. I have to turn that into 1500 words maximum". And we think we've got problems.
