THE STERLING AREA

SIR,—In his article on 'The Sterling Area' Mr. John Wood suggested that no adequate book on this sub- ject has been written by a Commonwealth author, and ascribes this to ignorance and indifference.

We should like to draw his attention to The Sterling Area, by Dr. A. R. Conan, which my firm published in 1952 and have since reprinted. It was widely reviewed at the time of its publication and described, in particular by Mr. R. F. Harrod, as an important book.—Yours faithfully,
