15th February 2002	Wish List Book.....Isandlwana.The Definitive Guide..By The Likes of J. Whybra - FWD etc By Keith Mr Whybra's research of the FACTS and attention to detail are meat and drink to avid students of this battle. Detailed annotation and reference notes are crucial to the academic credentials for a debate of this kind. I, for one would be delighted if the above gentlemen would publish such a book. How about it Mr Whybra? (if you do though, please don't use RMP Ltd again.....I felt a sharp pain when I had to pay �24 for a copy of "The Roll Call...."!!)

15th February 2002	John Young Keith, I don't think we will have to wait too long for a work on that very subject by F.W.D. Jackson. John Young, Chairman, Anglo-Zulu War Research Society.
16th February 2002	Julian Whybra Thank you Keith. I am 85,000 words into a PhD of 100,000 solely on the battle itself. Getting it published will be the next problem (unless people keep swiping chunks of it to publish under their own name).
28th April 2002	Stephen Julian...those who have never done, should not critique. Give us a call once you publish the book.
