Update as at 30 Jan 2012.
I have now sent all the necessary files to the publisher. The publishers are based in the USA. It is now over to the publishers for the next stage of the process. I have no idea at this point how long the publisher will need to produce a draft copy of the book. I then have to check through the book in detail before signing it off. Should there be any problems then part of the above will need to be re-visited.

The whole process of completing a historical walking guidebook takes at least 3 years (this one has taken 4 years) to complete taking into account the walking, route describing, history research, photography, map producing, compiling, checking and publishing lead time but the project is probably on time for spring of 2012.
