Yesterday, I received this alert
Time someone wrote a proper book on Charles Reep, a true pioneer. How about it @520507? https://t.co/FYzL1FlURZ

I admire Simon’s work immensely and so I need to respond.
I think it is a great idea.
Over the years I have written a number of posts about Charles.
Somewhere in my archive, I have an unpublished paper that Charles shared with me as a typescript.
I sense that this is the time following Simon’s call to create an open book for and about Charles.
We could use the approach championed by BC Open Textbooks.
So …
This is an open invitation to co-create that most wonderful of open books, a Festschrift. Ours could be a Reepschrift.
I am hopeful that Richard Pollard and Neil Lanham will help us to ground the book in their experiences with Charles.
Thank you, Simon, for a great nudge.
Anyone in?
