Dear Bernard,

Heard your interview with Graham Norton this morning (20 Jun 15) and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.  I didn’t even have a clue you were back in the country of your birth!

Question:  Do you know if there is any chance of some of your earlier books being republished in hardback?  I have all of your books but some of them are paperbacks and they are getting a little tatty and dog-eared an I would like to replace them, but some, like ‘Sharpe’s Company’ could be very expensive were I to try and get a first edition.
