Among other things, I've been writing pieces to plug the book recently. An article on The History Press's Facebook pages, for instance: here. And yesterday I emailed The Observer hoping to interest them in an article about Gilbert's war correspondence in 1870, written for The Observer and only recently discovered (by me). I haven't had a reply yet, and I shan't be surprised if they show no interest whatsoever. I'll be furious, but I shan't be surprised.
I've also, just now, set up a Facebook page for Gilbert, here.
I'm sorry about the brevity of this entry. This does not seem to be a good morning for writing. I'll try and see if I can find a nice Bab illustration to add before I publish it. Ah! Here's one.
