With a sigh of relief the World Cup has finally come to a close, well done France!, four weeks when I definitely do not manage to do very much writing or typing, if anything else for that matter. Luckily this event only comes once every four years and to me this latest event seemed to have even more sponsors than in previous years, with most advertisers utilising the theme. I hope that some of you North Americans watched the match against Iran and felt something of the passion that the rest of the world do when they are involved with this tournament, well it's time to clear the decks and start on a review of the books and magazines that I have been sent or have bought since the last issue. All the very best to you all, and sorry for the time gap.
