Drakkar Press was set up in 2002 as a means of publishing my miscellaneous scribblings.
At first, books were published in the conventional sense, that is, they were printed and sold through distributors and booksellers.
Whoever Said Computers Would Be Intelligent? (2005) is a 280-page review of the subject of artificial intelligence, woven from over 500 quotations, both pertinent and impertinent.
The Land of the Lune (first edition, 2008) is a 260-page guide (including over 200 photographs) to the region within the Lune watershed.
Later, since the scribblings were for amusement, my own and any readers, and not for profit and certainly not for all the hassle of dealing with distributors and booksellers, they were made freely available on the web.
The Land of the Lune (second edition, 2010) is a revised and expanded version of the first edition.
Fifty Weeks Running: Ruminations of a Rusty Runner (2011) is a sort of on-line diary reflecting on running (and other things) based on experiences of running around the region and elsewhere for thirty years, on and off. (This version is 2.3Mb. To see the photos in all their glory, use this version (32.6Mb).)
Rainy Day Rambles in the Lake District (2012) is a set of ‘sketches’ about the Lake District.
