I am a local architect and I am in the middle of compiling a book of ideas for extending a Victorian terraced house. This book will consist of various case studies of different kinds/sizes of Victorian terraced house, showing different plan options (annotated) for each floor with photos or 3D sketches showing how these ideas would look.

I have had publishing offers from the RIBA (10% of book sales, they pay for all production and distribution) and Artifice (33% of book sales, but I pay 50% of publishing and distribution costs, which I think will amount to holf of around ?40,000 for 1000 copies). Neither seems that attractive. I am therefore turning to you to ask your advice. Should I go with one of the offers or do I risk it and self publish? One of the big questions is how many copies do I think will sell. There currently isn't anything else like it on the market.

What do you think? Do you think it will sell? Would you buy it? Anyone had experience of publishing?

Any advice much appreciated

- Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

  I wouldn't recommend Forest Hill if you have a child in one of the Dulwich private schools and you intend to cycle. ..that hill is very steep. In my opinion the ideal locations would be around Court Lane/near library - I used to cycle across Dulwich Park with my little one to go to one of these schools - when I used to live there. Houses might be on the smaller side. around North Dulwich/Herne Hill great transport link to the City and you are also close to Brockwell Park or West Dulwich (not the most exciting area but very quiet and very convenient for DP, pre Prep and DC.) Nice houses as well.

  I was born in my Nan's house on Belvoir Road in February 1995 and I lived with my mum and also my younger sister at 185 Ladlands, Overhill Road. I went to nursery and then school at Goodrich Community Primary School and remember the following staff members - Miss Hunter, Mr Coleman & Mr Johnson. A few pupils I remember are - Tanya, Flo, Lauren, Lucy, Arcadeus (not 100% sure of spelling). I moved to Bromley in the early 00s.

  My mum used to go to a Caribbean shop in Sydenham in the 90s but can't remember the name of the shop. The man's name was Roger. Any ideas? TIA

  I look out for them tomorrow over Horniman Gardens. Separately our garden has been invaded by large birds, magpies, a jay or two, starlings, a couple of wood pigeons and less great and blue tits than usual, virtually no long tailed tits and only the occasional dunnock. No blue tit nesting this year either..... Here's a lovely picture when the common redpolls visited a few weeks ago, feeding on sunflower chips with the goldfinches. Note the home made anti-parakeet cage (from a squirrel proof feeder)
