Request for Question Clarification by leli-ga on 17 Jan 2003 09:36 PST

Hello bene7

Quite a difficult question! I've managed to find a few references to
his work - including two major publications (UK) with articles of his
appearing during 2002. Would details of these (plus
editor's/publisher's addresses) be any use to you as an answer?

(As you probably know, we are not able to offer any private contact
information.)

Ackerley”, is listed in Contemporary Authors. His agent is David
Higham Associates. And the address is: David Higham Associates, 5-8

Peter Robert Nevill Parker was born in June 2, 1954 in Hereford,
England. He attended the University of London and graduated with a

Search strategy:
“Contemporary Authors” is a good place to find author contact
information
Went to Amazon.com and did an author search which is where I turned up
the Isherwood book.
Google search:
