A long time since I last saw Ian Alex Blease mentioned. If the same one (and it seems to be), he is mainly concerned with photography now.
I’ve had my criticisms of Bauval, but on consideration, I find him better than most in the genre. I considered Creighton’s attack on him entirely malicious and unfair.
I really don’t get this “poor little Scott” line we’re getting now.
