John, I enjoyed Rodric's wonderful Introduction. I am happy to know Bill's mailbag articles are being converted to volumes of books. That is a great step on behalf of you three in keeping his work alive. Wish you three the very best.
Thank you John, for sharing this wonderful introduction by Rodric!
I am aware of this, through Linda!
It's an excellent initiative to turn the mailbag series into books! All the best to all the fellow writers who are involved in this noble work!
Looking forward to see this happening!
Thank you and best wishes!
What's not been mentioned so far is the dry wit. A cross between Bing Crosby and Bob Hope (a Yank and a Limey). It doesn't always come across very obviously. That's the Crosby side, the Yank. And the sardonic one liner, Bob Hope, is kept to a minimum, not aimed at anyone but handy as a reminder not to overstep the mark. He, Mister Holland, is master of ceremonies, he's the one that dishes out the advice and accolades, you ask the questions. Let's keep it that way. Every now and then a twitch of the curtains reveals some backstage humour, maybe something put in by a wag - like me - who has ago at knitting together a Transatlantic sideshow and he shows his appreciation. Just don't upset the apple cart ...
Is it going to be available on Amazon? Are you going to edit out the questions that asked Bill about his thoughts on the HP changes, editors, etc.?
This is great news John.THanks for sharing.Bill's mailbag has always been very insightful and a book is a perfect way to capture the essence of the articles.Thanks John,Linda and Rod for taking the effort to bring Bill's beautiful creation in the forefront.
Organizing Bill's articles sounds like a terrific idea. Thank you for your interesting article Rodric, and thank you John for posting this article. This series will be helpful to many people as it will contain a wealth of information from Bill.
I am so happy to know about the anthology of Mr. Bill Holland's mailbag. I am pleased that Mr. Bill's advice and tips will now be available not only to HubPages users, but also to writers, new writers, and readers outside of HubPages as well. Best wishes to everyone who is working hard to make this happen. I received Linda's email a few days ago, and when I learned about the team of three wonderful people (you, Linda, and Rodric), I knew the results would be spectacular. Thank you to all of you for doing this amazing work.
Thanks for sharing, John.
Blessings always!!
Good news! Bill will still be teaching and we will still be learning. What a noble effort!
That is great that all of his sage advice through the years will be in print form for countless people to read. Thanks for the team effort in getting those volumes published!

As HubPages is strict as to only having content on their pages, I wonder if we are able to take the hubs (of which we own the content) and compile for a book or ebook?I look forward to hearing from other hubbers!
