There is a book on Fairport Convention written by Patrick Humphries (c) 1982
that describes the band's history, and answers all the Big Questions about
them. The book is called Meet on the Ledge, and is published by (!) Eel Pie
in London. It appears to be absolutely unobtainable on this side of the
Atlantic. I have seen it, and it has lots of information and pictures and 
other necessities for the Fairport addict (there are a few). 

Those people enamoured of Fairport would also do well to look for Morris On,
done by a motley bunch of Fairport regulars, occasionals, and other Electric
Folk Names. It's now obtaiable from Carthage, reissued and better pressed.
There's also Sone of Morris On, not as good but still not half bad.

There's also The English Dancing Master, a similar compendium to some of the
Morris On stuff, coordinated bt Ashley Hutchings. Indispensible, if you can
find it. (Write to Carthage perhaps.)
