I don't have one yet but I shall ask for it.

Now then, does the autograph on the spine come with the book or was yours added on?

I didn't know about it. Thanks Geoffrey. Gwen where did you buy it? Was it Amazon America? Cannot see it available elsewhere . thanks

This looks like a gem of a book; I guess a distilled version of "Stranger Music" but one
that fits more easily into one's pocket.

On the subjects of books, has anyone heard that there will be a new biography
coming out in November?

Should be a treat.

The book certainly looks interesting and I'm sure will be a
fascinating read.

If memory serves me correctly it was Amazon UK but then I order loads from America too so I could be mistaken. Ask them to get it into Eason's for you!

I just received my book. Wow, its gorgeous. I love the size of it , its almost like an old fashioned prayer book and perfect for carrying around to read now and then. Thanks a million Geoffrey for telling us about it.
