Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have been reading your books for many many years.If I read other authors, I have a habit of comparing them to your high standards. I have been lucky too meet you three times at Waterstones in Southampton. My collection of your books has grown over the years. I have at last purchased a copy of SHARPES SWORD 1st ed hard back this finishes my UK 1st ed books. Now onto collecting USA 1st ed books. Will you be coming to Southampton at any time? Many thanks for years of happy reading. Sean
