That link doesn't work for me either.  I think a good idea for a Fairport book would be a compilation of all past Cropredy programmes.  I've been collecting them for a while now and they are really interesting and do show how much the festival has changed.  I was reading the 1983 one this morning and it reminds festival goers to "PLEASE, use the toilets on the site - the surrounding land is private and trespassers WILL be prosecuted."  Not something we have to be told these days, I hope!

Actually, I wondered a couple of weeks ago and mailed Fairport Towers. Simon replied thus:
The publishers have decided there is not enough interest to do a lavish coffee-table photo-based book, and we are discussing alternative approaches...

Having thought about it a bit more, I think a compilation of the tour programmes would be just as interesting in a different kind of way and they go all the way back to 1976.

That's a great shame. I think there was maybe more interest than was declared, but that there was a certain hesitancy about just what we were going to get.  I'd have loved a Fairport coffee-table style book.
