Hello Bernard. I note that you plan to come to Australia to a book festival in Melbourne in February next year. Do you plan to visit any other of our fine cities? I will certainly try to get to Melbourne whilst you are here, but Australia is similar in size to continental USA. Nonetheless, we Australian Sharpaholics will welcome you warmly to our fine shores. I do hope that you enjoy your stay. Kindest regards, Warren Bishop, Canberra Australia.
