I am reading Roger's excellent book as my "Book at Bedtime" this week, and had stopped last night at page 142. So a quick turn-over of one page takes me to this invaluable list (which he had already supplied me a few years ago). At last we have a book to which enquirers on Tarboard can be referred; up till now I have frequently had to tell them to look in The Best of Childhood, which is only available to TARS members.

BUT .... I was horrified to find that in the chapter on BS, every reference to George Owdon was misspelt. We have a set of guidelines for proofreaders and editors of TARS magazines, and rule 26 reads:
Watch especially for this extremely common spelling error: "Owden". The name is spelt, throughout all editions of AR whenever and wherever published, "Owdon".
But this isn't a TARS magazine.
