RobinLeicester

Since the mid 1980s I have run a very small publishing business, called Kairos Press, producing books by various authors, on a range of topics particularly relating to Leicestershire local history, and other local interest subjects. In editing wikipedia pages my aim has been the same as in publishing the books, to increase understanding and awareness of Leicestershire, its history and localities.

In the interest of neutral viewpoints in my edits, I aim not to cite the books I have published, where I know of reliable alternatives. For some topics it may be that it is necessary to do so. If you think I am giving undue reference to Kairos Press books, please let me know via my talk page, or the talk page of the article concerned, or provide better citations, or take whatever actions seem most appropriate. Thanks.
