I have forgotten how I first met John. It was in 1975, I think, when I was living in Birmingham – in the attic flat in Moseley, which Hunt Emerson inherited when I left for London. I had already put out about 10 issues of FT (then called The News). A hippie visitor, name long forgotten, had travelled with people who knew John and he told me this when talk turned to leys and I began praising View Over Atlantis. He gave me John’s address in Bath and, after a short correspondence in which John said nice things about The News, he amazed me by suggesting we should do a book together.
