We’ve now written and had published 23 books. They’re in 24 languages and 56 plus foreign editions.
Everything begins somewhere and for us it was 1980 and The Complete Guide to Foot Reflexology.
We started with nothing. No money. No experience. All we had was a determination that reflexology would live on with a book. At that time reflexology was a verbal tradition spread by word of mouth, an idea we worried would die if not written down. We started and soon we had more - others who wanted to help. Friends and reflexology clients joined in to create a book.
Times were different then. A manuscript was hand written on yellow pad then typewritten and edited and corrected then typewritten again and passed on to the operator of a typesetting machine. The typeset material was hand pasted onto paper with as many as 50 piece of typeset on a single page. Book design, illustrations and graphics were created by a single person, first time production department (Barbara). (Kevin was at the office, seeing 40 clients a week.) Books finished we threw them into the trunk of our car and drove 800 miles to a health convention to introduce the book. We sold out.
It’s been a lot of years and we can look back with fondness and appreciation for the help and support. But it was work, all consuming work seven days a week for a year. There have been more books but that first one was an irreplaceable experience - the camaraderie, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of a mission
