Thanks, Stuart.
The NPS is making plans to put Jim's drawings on its website, and I will be in touch with Marion shortly about some other matters, via Ian Curr.
He may be gone, but he is not forgotten. I was in fact reading society minutes from the period when he was its chairman just yesterday.
His book was very important (and, as you say, caused controversy). Most of those dissenting voices are long gone. After 40 years of huge piping expansion and progress it is however "of its time", and we are working to make as many pipemaking resources available as possible, both modern and historical.
