Summary
The first edition took me one year flat; the second has taken, off and on, four. I can only hope that, if it shows, it shows in the right way.
I am grateful to Frank Palmer, who commented on the typescript for me, and to my wife, Lucienne Schleich, to whom I have read aloud most of it. I am also grateful to Claudia Ventura for lending me a typewriter while I was on holiday.
