He also built at that time the biggest open air swimming pool at West Marina St Leonards, supposing built to Olympic standards, but some know otherwise! The book contains virtually all his projects and visions for the future, and boasts 270 pages filled from cover to cover with detailed descriptions on how each project was put together. To support the book there are in excess of 170 pictures.
