A reader of our British eBook series writes, "Many thanks for all the updates you have sent me as your excellent book has grown. These now seem to have dried up. Does this mean that the e-book is now complete?" Oh no. I thought it might be a good idea to keep you informed about the status of our project. These things go in cycles. Of late I have been working on a variety of research projects.
The New Zealand eBook is now larger than the 250-300 pages we had originally planned. We are planning to create Vol. II. The British eBook Vol. I still has a few pages to go. The British eBook Vol. II still has quite a few pages to go.
And we have plans for future volumes. We re just beginning Vol. III and IV.
We have moved the New Zealand eBook from a different host. This has required some changes in the codeing. Most of this has been finished, but there are still some pages that have coding errors. We have also begun to work on Vol. II pf the New Zealand eBook.
I might add that what takes the most time when working on the eBook is writing the text. We strongly encourage readers to comment with their insights which will help create new pages. Also we encourage readers to ask questions. This alerts us to topics we have not explained fully or very well.

Of late I have been working on a variety of research projects. Of course as we complete the various volumes there will be fewer new pages to alert readrs about. The alerts will come from the volumes still in prigress.

The New Zealand eBook is now larger than the 250-300 pages we had originally planned. We have thus created create Vol. II and III so we can expand our coverage and address a range of topics in greater detail. We are jusdt getting started on Vol. II and III, but have loaded quite a number of new pages.
The British eBook Vol. I now only has a few pages to go. We have started some additional volumes. The British eBook Vol. II is a series of photo essays expanding the information in Vol. I. Some readers have asked about uniforms so we added a section on uniforms. We have created Vol. III which combines our photographs along with written material by the headmasters, teachers, and children. The items from the headmasters and teachers are very impormative and the material written by the children quite charming. We have also begun Vol. IV which focuses on boarding.

Also we encourage readers to ask questions. This alerts us to topics we have not explained fully or very well. If you do not understand something it is probably a topic we should explain in more detail.
