The ISH book!!!

Post: # 89081Post Helsbells »

Spotted - by my boyfriend - on the 5.20 train from waterloo to reading today - A bloke reading the ISH book!!!

He tells me the man was wearing a pinstripe suit and was reading the book very carefully. Who is this man?? And how did he get a copy of the book which is not yet released?

Hmm that is odd, I have not even had a copy yet. In fact the first copies have only just been printed. I can only think that it must be one of a few people either someone at Hodder (the publisher), a journalist or perhaps our agent this bloke -

I think that the designer might live somewhere near Reading?? So could have been him I guess.

Whoever it was there will only be a very small handful of copies in circulation a the moment so that was definitely a rather shocking coincidence that he saw the bloke.

Wait this means that your boyfriend has seen a finished copy before me or Dave!!!

It wasn't him! I am not sure who it was, must have been someone from the publisher.

Hmm, I did once own a pin striped suit back when I was 15. It was a little too small for me and I couldn't bend over in it. :shock:

That was probably intentional so you'd learn not to slouch! :mrgreen:
