Ah, so he was one of that group was he? Keep meaning to get the Tigers book,
will go to Amazon now! Strange that Waiwright didn't give the path his name.
Book 4 was published four years after J D's death, but I suppose the name
hadn't been decided upon then. AW was quite a contemporary of that crowd; I
now have the Wainwright Book 2 that he gave to Harry Griffin when it was
first published. Pity niether of them signed it!

Than ks for the info.
