Re: new book about the observer
An author called Hunt, who was a cub reporter in the 50s has written one - different title - about his Edgar St days with the Observer. I don't know if he moved onto the Telegraph. Give us a title & author please, Bob. Bob

My first effort,seems to have found favour with most of the people who have read it,apart from one' professional journalist'. I wrote it mainly as a light hearted history of local newspaper production, it relates a few tales of the characters who worked at the Observer and Lancashire Evening Telegraph,from the1960's to the 1990's. I don't think I will be retiring on the proceeds! |

Re: new book about the observer
I 've heard a whisper that Lampman is coming to Acc to give a talk about his Observer days - what's the score, Lampman? If correct, while you are here, please find time to give a lesson in reporting to the present staff on the paper.
