A book (or booklet) I’d read avidly if I had it in my hands!

It’s rather obvious in this case, that the item is a publication, not the thing itself, but it might be a good idea to include “(publication)” in there to remove ambiguity. (It’s on the catalogue page, although author, year, and page count are not - might be a good idea to include those if you can.)

(Also, typo: it’s Manchester, not Manchaster.)

Thanks for pointing that out @SebastianB can likely help give some feedback and resolve that.

I’m hoping to get John Deans texts on our main website onto the medic page shortly for access

Typo now corrected, but have not changed anything else for the moment.

I have about 20 images of the Baby reconstruction which is housed in MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) in Manchester. You would be most welcome to incldue some/all of these as part of this entry if required. These images were taken in 2008.
Similarly lots of Bletchley Park and the National Computer Museum and contents, eg Colossus recontruction, Bombes etc. I understand this museum is quite different now so perhaps many of these images are somewhat historical.
Cheers,
