Lewes, East Sussex: The Book Guild, 2000. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of 161 pages. 256 photographs.

He pays tribute to a father whose life was spent in the Indian Army and a grandfather who served as a Royal Navy surgeon in feudal Japan and then settled as a barrister in Yokohama.
