Well Marghek, I'm sure you're familiar with the saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink".

Micheal has aggressively explained what's wrong with many KK publications, and I have done my best to expain to them why his technical arguments are basically correct, hopefully in a more friendly manner — I've even demonstrated the right way. The "Cornish for Beginners" book (the recent one) is OK but that's because it was based on an existing design/illustrations by a large publisher, same as "First 1,000 words", (it's not a style I especially like, but that's down to personal taste). Otherwise we're probably in for more of the same, amature looking word-processor generated hit and miss output. A great pity IMO that readers have to choose between decent content, or decent production, but are rarely offered both.

Since when did anything you have to say matter to anyone but yourself, you poisonous little gnome? Your ignorant and confused observations are as worthless as your own, insignificant existence. What are you rambling about you little turd? Go away, back to the Canadian troll hole you were banished to last time, you repellent little gobblin' boy.

Nyaaaaaa, haaaa, haaa, haaaa, haaaaa!

If you go and take a look at Evertype's web site you'll discover that all the Cornish publication are just cloned from titles he'd already done in English and Irish, Alice, 20,000 Leagues, the kiddies' reading book, which means he already had the design, illustrations, lay-out etc. in place on his Mac and only needed a Cornish version of each text to go to press. And of course the SanT book was just a re-hash of Ray Chubb's work, so little sign of originality really. It will be interesting to see what gets cloned next.

Btw, where can I find details of the latest Kesva publications, I've searched the web in vain. Does anyone have copies of these latest and what do they look like. (The academic study one should be OK because it was set up by a fellow academic who most probably knew his stuff, IIRC)

As far as I am aware, the Kesva and Agan Tavas have both published works in the Cornish language.

Spellyans : Your link is at least a year out of date. The links from it to booksellers are both obsolete.

Links to recent Kesva publications anyone, please?

Horseman, please go and look at Evertype's site, list of books published. All of those in Cornish had previously been done in Irish and English. Once the design, layout and illustrations are sorted, "individually typeset" means tweaking the odd line or page-ending here and there, and if his software is up to scratch there'll be very little that isn't taken care of. Although hyphenation will of course be a potential problem with Cornish text.
