I am half expecting it to be cancelled so also working on where I can run if it is as I still intend to do it. Good luck bgillam

Paul N Feb 2021 2:22pm, 8 Feb 2021 2,102 posts	Quote Pin Paul N There is a new edition of Koop's book in the pipeline. He is saying there's a fair bit of additional info in it. He's self publishing and I think, from listening to his pod (or maybe his insta), it should be available around May time.
