Well, after spending much of the last 18 months reading every page of every Fellrunner several times:Originally Posted by gej
So far there has been far more interest shown in the packaging than the contents. It's like being with a toddler at Christmas
Guy Goodair's piece on the LDMT 1959 was one of the most delightful articles I have read in years. A real joy.
You could read (Professor Dr.) George Broderick's article on the Manx MM and not know that he is the highly esteemed world authority on the Manx language (Mannin) and much else, including some aspects of fell running.
The first sentence of Jonny Muir's article (on Andrew Douglas [and, oops, not Dugdale!] ) was a classic in engaging the reader from the first sentence. If a reader likes the first paragraph they will read the second and then the writer should have their attention for the whole piece, even if they aren't particularly interested in the subject. This is the refreshing writing skill that helped Richard Askwith sell 70,000 copies of Feet In The Clouds.
I didn't care about the packaging.
