  Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has been one of the main bedrocks of the Dover cruise trade since the very beginning.
  
  John Hendy has been commissioned to write a history of the company and his resulting book has just been published. Apart from a detailed history of the company and it's ships past and present, there is wealth of photographs (some provided by yours truly).
  
  Published by Ferry Publications in hardback at £16:00 it should be available locally at W H Smith.

  Should be an interesting book John, especially with your fabulous photographs gracing some pages

  Hope the book goes well. I have an earlier book of yours John amongst my collection...somewhere over yonder on bookshelf. I also have other literary works from Lorraine Sencicle and Paul Scotchie Wells both signed by the authors themselves...so the forum is well represented on local bookshelves through the efforts of some. I have a Bob Hollingsbee one as well..Kath is a member but not Bob, but close...
  
  Well done all those guys..

  would have thought that it would sell well in the museum shop to both locals and cruise passengers.
