Thanks for that but I have my own free copy of "The Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies" as being one of the contributors to the book.
Interestingly all the contributors have a biography and a picture of themselves in the book except for yours truly.
The US publishers refused to accept my picture or the original biography
. It wasn't an obscene picture and I certainly don't consider myself hideous enough to affect sales of the book.
They rewrote the biography by adding facts they obtained off the Internet.
I wasn't terribly impressed.
