  • Many readers have remarked about the over­ inking of the pages in our last issue. That problem Is, unfortunately, beyond our control, although we are endeavouring to encourage our printers to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. We trust it didn’t interfere with your enjoyment of that edition. – page 8.
  • All of the three copies of this issue in front of me show signs of under-inking. Be careful what you wish for.

For instance, £1 in 1972 is £11.50 in today’s money.
