The story behind the book
We had two speakers at our book launch and here is one of the presentations.

The hardest part of any book project is knowing when to stop the research! The book team researched the material for 3 years using resources at the London Metropolitan Archives, Charterhouse and the University Library and many others.
One of the most important decisions is knowing what direction to take. Is the book printed, or epub? Maybe both? How to plan out the pages too. All big decisions that often have to be made before the book is written.
There are many stages to the book and these are the steps that the book team went through since February this year.
We did a lot as a team to keep you in touch with us whilst we were writing and designing too.
Some of our advice on what you may consider. You can also get tips from our news posts too.
