Jim's Book

Index

Throughout this index, the prefix ‘Jim's' for divisions of the Jim's Group business, has been placed second in the index headwords, except for Jim's Group: for example, ‘Jim's Mowing' appears as ‘Mowing, Jim's'. To clearly distinguish the business from the man, ‘Jim' and ‘Jim's' refers to the business names of Jim's Group, and ‘DJP' represents David James (Jim) Penman throughout.
