In just over eighteen months since my book, Two by Two the Shape of a Shapeless Movement first appeared. With an initial print run of 1500 I am down to under 200 left. Many have been taken up in Ireland but a considerable number to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Have you run out of the first printing? Have you reprinted your book? If so, did you make any revisions? No, I still have some left. As to a reprint I may consider something along these lines that would include the responses I have received from those who have read and been helped by the book. As to revision there are a few minor corrections I would make such as the number of workers in 1905 and the burial place of Edward Cooney. As to my conclusion it still stands and I remain convinced that this is the only reasonable conclusion I could come to.

Co Fermanagh was very active in the early days of the movement and I think it would be a case that there are still more 2x2s per capita in Fermanagh than anywhere else. www.irvinegrey.comI would tend to contest that statement. While no doubt it may have been the case once upon a time, and numbers there are still greater than most parts of the world, I think there are a few serious contenders. A few that come to mind from personal experience, and I'm likely missing a few: perhaps Barbados, some towns in southern Brazil, some counties in western Nebraska and in southeastern North Dakota, and some of the rural areas in northern Peru. In one particular zone there (in northern Peru) there are two conventions within 4 miles of each other, each attended by several hundred people (well over 1000 all told), where everyone walks in from less than an hour's walk away and walks home each night to feed the chickens and milk the cows. This is in a district with a population (according to Wikipedia) of only about 20% of that of County Fermanagh.

You are probably right but the Fermanagh ones are more 'authentic' with a longer pedigree!
