He briefly mentions his time spent at the Electrical Press in Maidenhead and the Bucks Herald in Aylesbury.<br \/>\nLater he shows how the Driffield Times went onto cut-and-paste production.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s plenty to see and much to read in the book, hopefully, he says, with a smile of fondness at the memories.<br \/>\nHe relates how a single letter missed out of a word can provide much humour, and lists some of the odd headings that have appeared in the press, some of which have a personal connection.<br \/>\nMike says he still treasures his print archive, which includes setting sticks, rules, blocks and type plus several old newspapers from his early days in print.<br \/>\n<strong>The book costs \u00a36.00, and is available from him at: Farewell Etaoin, 40 Burstall Hill, Bridlington, East Yorkshire YO16 7GA.
