I haven't read it yet, but I know it'll be good. "The Book - I'm happy with that", by Alwyn and June Crawshaw will soon be available: I'm not sure if that's going to be the full title, it was a stop-press announcement on the NAPA (National Association of Painters in Acrylic) newsletter; keep an eye on the NAPA website, and I'll post any further information I receive.
Alwyn is the Honorary Life President of the Association - the book is about his and June's 60 year artistic career.

They both still (or did last time I looked) sell their work from their own website. I do have a pencil and wash drawing that I bought from Alwyn about ten years ago. I’ve also got several of his books.
They must be well into their eighties now, and certainly Alwyn at least has etched out a decent career, including a number of TV appearances!
Personally, I’ve always preferred his style of oil painting than his watercolours, although he’s done some excellent watercolours.
I may buy his book, probably will…
A quick Google gave me this:

Yes, he's 90 now - I couldn't find their website; maybe they no longer maintain it. The NAPA website hasn't caught up with the book either, but has issued its Newsletter in pdf format, which doesn't, annoyingly, have a live link or one that can be activated by the usual highlight/copy/paste method.
I'll keep my eyes open for more accessible information - the only link offered (deep breath!) is:
https://mixam.co.uk/print-on-demand/64f728g8c77d5e18d7cgaabc
I need a lie-down having typed all that, and I can't guarantee there's no error in it - have a go and see if it works. Actually, don't bother - it doesn't! I'll let the director of NAPA know about that; maybe going to the mixam site and then trawling through it would be a less tedious exercise in futility...

Couple of old articles by Alwyn and one by June here https://www.painters-online.co.uk/tips-techniques/search/?Search=crawshaw They used to write regularly for Leisure Painter.

They sure did - I took LP back then, I only take The Artist now. They also made videos, in which Alwyn's enthusiasm, in particular, did get up and hit you between the eyes.... unfortunately, my videos have upped and died on me, so I'll be looking for dvd's to replace them - when I get around to it... I put things off, and I have to get my itchy little paws on some fresh materials first. Alwyn and June remind me of Adebanji Alade: if their collective enthusiasm were bottled and consumed, it could blow your socks off.
