Its odd to write to America trying to trace and author who may live
next door. But i cannot trace him. I would like to know if he is
personally contactable or if he has a website. Amonst the books he has
written are "The alternative Gospel" and  "The Little book of Sufi
Wisdom"  His name is John Baldock

You could try writing to him c/o his publishers.

I will try it ,writing to the publisher. If that fails any other suggestions?

You may get his details from Directory Enquiries or UK-Info, a CD that
lists all UK residents, their addresses and their telephone numbers
where not ex-directory.

My copy is rather old ... but I will check.

There are 2 JB's listed in my 2000 edition of UK-ID.

There's a John A W of Vernwood and a plain John of Winforth Newburgh,
Dorchester. Both are ex-directory.

However, Google Answers do not allow the publication of personal
details. So, get a UK-ID disk!

Thanks. I have now found the full address of the publishers and will
try that line first.

I will close this question as I fiound the answer myself
