I still remember the front room in our house in Totley, Sheffield, being full of manuscripts circa 1970.

My Dad was a bit unlucky - back then, there were text books for Economics O Level, but none for CSE so he decided to write one.

They removed the CSE exam from the national syllabus/curriculum shortly after it was published!

Fortunately, New Zealand's equivalent of an Economics O Level was apparently simpler to the UK CSE back then, so he copped a few hundred quid a year in royalties out there for a while until Hulton told him the game was up and they weren't printing any more.

Funny old game, this book-writing malarkey, Saint.

[QUOTE="Ian_Davies, post: 2696377, member: 66646"] I still remember the front room in our house in Totley, Sheffield, being full of manuscripts circa 1970. My Dad was a bit unlucky - back then, there were text books for Economics O Level, but none for CSE so he decided to write one. They removed the CSE exam from the national syllabus/curriculum shortly after it was published! 😂 Fortunately, New Zealand's equivalent of an Economics O Level was apparently simpler to the UK CSE back then, so he copped a few hundred quid a year in royalties out there for a while until Hulton told him the game was up and they weren't printing any more.
