Good day Bernard, Some time ago you placed a note on your site indicating that, following some extremely rude behaviour towards bookshop hosts here in the UK, you were implementing a rule whereby you would only sign 3 x books per person at your book signing events, one of which was to be the book currently being promoted. Is this still the case? I do incidentally support the original statement having been present at Toppings of Bath last year when booksellers with bag upon bag of books were quite aggressive.. I’m hoping to be at your event at Bovington though I also wondered if you will be anywhere else on this UK visit? I’ve just finished the last of the Starbuck quartet for the second time by the way…I really must add my voice to the many calling for a finale to this outstanding series!
