Blimey, Nick! '20...

Mind you, I've just spent $140+ on US CD versions of books 1-3, via Amazon
(told you I'd give in on that one).

Waterstones were a bit vague. The first person I spoke to hadn't got the
foggiest idea, and the bloke I ended up asking said she was scheduled
to appear. He hasn't got back to me yet.

My friend David, a self-styled book dealer (and big HP fan), contacted
Borders in Brighton. They are running a ticket-only event for the first
200 arrivals, with a 'one book-one signature' policy. This is supposedly
on 8th July, which seems unlikely. Perhaps Jo feels that Brighton is a
safer place, on that day, than London?

Harrods say "they are dealing with" David's enquiry.

I'm actually not that interested in getting a signature like some can
of beans on a conveyor belt.

I'd like to meet JK Rowling though. I remember the time I met Armistead
Maupin at a book signing. I just stood there with my mouth open:

"Do you want me to sign these?"
"Yes"
"There you go...!"

I treasure that moment.
