Dear Bernard,
I’m happy to say that I possess copies of all the books you have published (including those written with your wife), and, of course a complete box-set of the Sharpe DVD’s. Some I have re-read, all of them I have enjoyed immensely; and I always look forward to any new publications.
Imagine my surprise and joy when I was recently in Blackwells book shop in Bristol, and came across a signed copy of Death of Kings. Not only that, it was retailing at half price!! I quickly paid and almost ran out of the shop and down the street, before anyone could see – as I, obviously, thought this was a steal.
The book now occupies pride of place in my library.
Having given this some thought, here’s my question:- If you hadn’t signed the book, would it have retailed for a greater amount?  This is by way of a jokey comment and I thank you most sincerely for all your work, it has brought me many hours of pleasure.  I wish you continued success for the future.
Regards

Dave Birtwistle
