Searching the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook

Hi Everyone

It's probably me but I always found trying to search through the hardback copy of the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook a bit laborious; but could sort of understand why it was difficult as to list so many different topics in an easy order to identify something in particular will always prove difficult.

I thought subscribing to the online version would make it easier, as computer search engines can be quite complex and can act as a microscope for text.

However I still seem to be struggling with pages of listings which don't necessarily identify what I want.

Is it me or does anyone else have this problem?

Better still if you have some tips I would very much appreciate them.

Thank you

Nigel
