Not everything, just getting all the “right files” in the right ordered sequence (I had so many extras this was more difficult than you might’ve thought, certainly harder than I had thought!). Been working on that since Thursday 3-4 days worth.
Then the Proofreader corrections will go in. Little corrections, smoother writing, etc. Hours and hours of stuff. I believe all files have been found and sent to us by courageous Purdy fan Martin Stafford who hails from New Zealand. Thanks to you Martin.
Not only will this be a marvelous addition (and edition), some other Purdy files will be added which were found by co-author Robert Jamieson after Purdy’s passing.
AND, some photos which haven’t been seen before or in ages! One was found by Robert Jamieson in a non-chess magazine but of Purdy at the chess board. We “might” even have a picture of Purdy in color on the back cover of the NEW edition.
Lots of things planned. It may run 450-500 pages. Have a lot of stuff to sort so we don’t know everything yet.
But, I think you will RAVE just like Buddy Holly.

I will be purchasing a copy of the new “Search” when it becomes available, Bob.
Thank you Greg, I am looking forward to getting it out there. I think it “might” be called something like, “My Search for Chess Perfection continued…”
By the way Greg, that extra copy of SEARCH you sent me came in handy when I misplaced the ONE copy I had. Thanks…
Great, on all counts. I am glad I was able to help.
