Brian May

Thought some of you may be interested to listen to Brian May being interviewed on last Saturday's ( 26.12.09) Radio 4 programme 'Saturday Live'. Brian was discussing, among other things, his new book about the stereograph pictures of T.L. Williams. Listen to the link below:

Not sure how long the link will be valid for.

Yes - and it's a fascinating book, too.

Brian started getting interested in T.R. Williams about the time I first met him - he was a member of The Stereoscopic Society then (about 30 years ago) and his next-door neighbour was a past-President of the club so Brian came to some meetings with him.

He dropped his membership for a while, but both he and Elena Vidal (his co-author) are now Members of the club and I had them along to our November London meeting to talk about the research that went into the book. I'm hoping they might be able to come to one of our Coventry meetings - but that will be in the Autumn.

I think they printed 5000 copies of the book and that first printing is now very hard to find. I understand from Brian that he has just signed off on the reprint, so it should be available again soon.
