"Bill Rawkins" Topic

Does anyone know whether Bill Rawkins is still selling the superb Napoleonic e-book series ? This is an excellent range of great value books and I have every one to date. Not seen any changes on the web site for a long time and no response to emails. Just wondered if anyone knows him and if he is okay ?

Yes,
and the updated CD versions (they're not really ebooks just PDFs on a disk) are well worth it, lots of additional info over the original pamphlets and much (much) better source and citation information.

Ordered and received from him in mid-April, although that now seems an eternity ago. Hope he is well. I don't have all the books I want yet, and they are, indeed, simply superb.

great books/pamphlets, essential for any real painter

As of a few weeks ago Bill was fine but stuck in Spain because of the virus for the last few months and is awaiting return to the UK.

His granddaughter told me he is anxious to get back at it upon his return.

I placed a few orders over the last weeks and all were processed well within 24 hours.

You can order these excellent low cost resources with confidence.

thanks.

Agreed – very useful & extremely rapid service. Pleased to say That I have complete set of the pdf booklets published so far. Looking forward to purchasing the others as and when they become available.

Thank you for the update. Really glad to hear that Bill is okay and am looking forward to future booklets.

I just read on another web site that Mr. Rawkins has passed away. The website now just gives a 404 error.

It does appear Bill is gone to that great bookshop in the sky

Very sad news indeed.

Doctor X, do you know if his family intends to continue publishing the books? Prince of Essling, any interest in selling a copy of the set or trading?
