When Ned was fourteen he wrote a book called "The Railways of Essex" with his friend Adrian Smith. They printed it paragraph by paragraph on Adrian's Adana printing press which had defective rollers! About fifty copies were produced.
Ned's book writing and production really took off in 1969 when the name "Uralia Press" was first used commercially. Most of the "key books" are now out of print and some now fetch high prices on Ebay - so, you never know, it may be worth collecting the works of Ned Williams.
