I have a copy of Ronnies book on my desk, and I have to say it looks wonderful. the publishers have really done a great job. Not read it yet, but looking forward to it.

Will hopefully pop along for a wee while on thursday.

It's a great book. If I can get through to some sales rep bloke, I'm buying twenty for my Society...

Fabtastic! Looking forward to seeing a good number of you tomorrow. There will be a mention of HG (as there is in the book) ...
Best, R

A secret society of tiny people who have developed far beyond our own primitive state!

Hmmmmmm I wonder...

Ronnie

Bought your book on Tuesday night in Waterstones and was most impressed. The text, the epitaphs and Pol Cavin's illustrations strike the exactly the right note! Have been showing it to all the other groups I'm involved in and have even been stopped by people on the train this morning when I've been reading it to ask about it. Hopefully that will drum up trade!

Cheers

What can I say? A humble thank you.

So, could the posters read: "Better than aftershave ... atractive strangers pounced on me as soon as I produced the book from my anorak pocket"?

Yes Ronnie I saw your book today and showed my friend who is OBSESSED with old glasgow so we both bought copies. Very good sir. I must congratulate you.

All the best for tomorrow Ronnie. Unfortunately I can't make it, but I'm sure it'll be a great success.

Thanks, Doc. Don't read all 20 copies at once.
See youse all later. Don't forget to laugh.

If you give us your script with 'Audience laughs here' points highlighted, we'll see what we can do....

I'll actually need to manage to get in contact with the "hardest man in the world to reach EVER" before I can even get 20 copies.

You'd think this would be an easy job. Here, look. I have money. Take it. Go on.... ::):

Strangely, I'm missing your book launch because I'd already agreed to go to ANOTHER book launch. How weird is that? Two book launches I want to go to, on at exactly the same time. What are the chances of that happening?

I thought I was going to have to work late tonight, I have just found out I don't need to(woooohoooo)so I am going to pop along and purchase a copy, Looking forward to reading it. If it is as entertaining as your tour then it should be a good un'.
