Person
For most of the 1980s Adrian Gilbert worked as a book and partwork editor. Since then he has written many books on historical themes, including two volumes for Wayland on the French and Russian revolutions. He reckons the best thing about the 1980s was the development of the personal computer - which has made life for a bad speller a great deal easier!
