    Oh Mr Varhol, please don’t do such things as ‘alert them of’ (in the email you sent to John Stape and he forwarded). ‘…warm them of’ or ‘…alert them about…’ But a publisher should be exemplifying good English, sir. Best wishes, John Crompton.

    You might possible find useful my edition of ‘The Secret Agent’ (Everyman Dent Orion), with its maps and details on Lombroso, and my critical book on ‘The Secret Agent’, published by Humanities-Ebooks earlier in 2007.

    P.S. I forgot to add my name, Cedric Watts, to the last comment about ‘Secret Agent’ edition and commentary.
