I do not appear to have gone very far in the Siderfin book but it is now 130 pages instead of 136 and I am at page 29 so looks like progress. I wouldn't mind if it was just around 100 pages but I do...

Siderfin Book now 123 pages
Probably as short as it is going to get with the indexes still to add. Not a lot of forward motion more rereading, rewriting the preface and thinking about some of the charts perhaps still being a bit...
