Morris, the book is available now in Hardback and PDF eBook editions from Archaeopress: https://www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/Products/9781803277080

The cutting down of the tree in Sycamore Gap on Hadrian’s Wall in September 2023 caused widespread shock in Britain and beyond, and for many was felt as a personal loss. In a positive response to this sad event, David Breeze invited 80 friends and colleagues to offer personal reflections on their favourite view of the Wall. The views are presented in a visual celebration with photographs and specially commissioned line drawings, each accompanied by personal reflections. The wide-ranging contributions are testimony to the affection many hold for this evocative Roman frontier. 'Hadrian's Wall in our Time' is available now! http://doi.org/10.32028/9781803277349
It's been great to catch up with so many of our colleagues at RAC/TRAC in London this week. Patrick still has a wide selection of books available at special conference prices, so if you're in attendance, please stop by, say hello and have a browse!
