John's work -- years in the making and meticulous in the execution -- is absolutely central to our undertaking at the Virtual Paul's Cross Project.

John has graciously shared his findings and his wisdom with us over the years. I, personally, am deeply grateful to him for his generosity.I look forward to seeing the work in person -- my copy is on the way.

Congratulations to John on this outstanding achievement!
