The Publishing Business
Revised edition of: The publishing business: from p-books to e-books / Kelvin Smith.
Public Sector Records Management
Records management has undergone significant change in recent years, owing to the introduction of freedom of information legislation as well as the development of e-government and e-business and the need to manage records effectively in both the private and public sector.

Four Little Soldiers
This anthology of poetry is a mixture of fact and fiction on thought-provoking subjects, such as love and romance, life and death (which is sometimes deep and bizarre), compiled with umpteen memories of the author's past, along with a lot of dry wit and nonsense verse. It's hoped the poems will bring the reader laughter and tears, with warmth and sentiment, as they just might recognize things they may have said, heard, or even done themselves hidden amongst the verse.
My Sister and Me
This second book of poetry and verse by the Author is typical of his style of writing. The different moods and personalities within his stories, whether fact or fiction, reflects on the limitless issues within his own life and that of others that he picks up when he sees and hears the world around him. It’s hoped the reader will recognise and recollect their own thoughts and emotions within these observations of life as we know it, even when at times they’re said with tongue in cheek, along with the usual portion of nonsense and laughter.
