Nice work Don! Had a quick read through of the first few pages. Nicely laid out.
One thing though, should it be Compleat Idiot? I would have thought that it should have been Complete Idiot... Is that an alternative spelling or something?

"Compleat" is quite ok - it's an archaic version of "complete" and fairly commonly used in book titles.

I may be wrong, but I think the original was "The Compleat Angler" published in 1653

As someone who has read quite a lot more than the first few pages, I can categorically say it is a BLOODY good book, even if the title is compleatly a hoot.

Thanks Guys,
When I had my first VW Beetle I had a book called "Compleat Idiot's guide to the Volkswagen" I always thought it was a terrific book so used the same spelling
I've already been asked to do one for RRC , but I think I need a rest.
