ReportI have just started reading PRIVATE LONDON and I am concerned; - Ch 7; "my fellow sergeant, Anne Jones." and "Corporal Jones closed the camera.." - Ch 8; "and drew out my service revolver." and Ch 9; "I replaced the cartridge clip in my own pistol." do not fit. Otherwise, your books do turn their own pages but glaring errors in continuity do retract.
