ON behalf of all involved in the production of the book '1963 Blackburn -- a proud town,' may I thank your readers for their generous support in purchasing copies of this nostalgic trip around the town in Easter 1963, containing 120 previously unseen photographs.

The response has been so good that a reprint is already in hand.

Thanks to your publicity on November 27 and an interview on Radio Lancashire, your readers must have been as enthused as those of us involved in its production in knowing that all the money from sales is being donated to the Stroke Rehabilitation Ward B8 in Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn.

JOHN BROWN, Lammack Road, Blackburn.
