Scope and content

Ryder writes from his home in the Isle of Man. He had tried to help Johnny St John's with his book on publishing. Ryder unfortunately could not remember much about decisions [as Managing Director of Thomas] Tilling [Ltd]. He thought CP would be pleased of the news of the merger of BTR and Hamlyn. He reflects on Heinemann's past and mentions A.S. Frere and Lioner Fraser.

Paul Ryder reflects on his career and his position at Thomas Tilling Ltd, the early death of Lionel Fraser and how various changes came about. He adds a postscript and provides details of his career progression from the age of 17 and includes details of his wartime career.
