Late May 2008 saw the publication of Archaeology in Hitchin, written by Keith and Tony Fitzpatrick-Matthews and published jointly by the Society and Hitchin Museum. The launch outside the museum on a lovely sunny day was well-attended, Keith and Tony were kept busy signing copies and the book sold so fast that our publications officer, Pauline Humphries, said, “My Delivery Trolley has hot wheels caused by repeated ‘top-up’ trips to our local outlets!”
