Tickets for Neil’s event on the 28th October are selling briskly, so if you’ve been faffing around and would like to come do book soon as we don’t want to disappoint you.  You can order on-line by following the link from the events page, ring us to reserve and then send us a cheque or call into the shop.  Yesterday’s Scotland on Sunday contained a review of The Graveyard Book and I expect that that will generate some interest so I think that next Tuesday’s event will probably be a sell-out.

Those of you coming to the event might like to read the guidelines for signees that Neil wrote a few years back (you’ll need to scroll down a bit).  As well as being useful in terms of reminding people that signing queues are long and that patience is needed and that it’s good if you can remember how to spell your name, it also points out that if everyone brings their entire collection of Sandman then it’s going to mean that the people at the back are waiting for a very long time.  Consequently, we think one item plus whatever books you buy from us on the evening is fair*.  If you have every Sandman and you want Neil to sign it then you’re going to have to wait til the end and hope that the theatre people aren’t trying to kick us out and that Neil isn’t about to faint or get grumpy unless someone gives him a sandwich.  The positive side of having the signing at the Church Hill Theatre is that they have a bar so at least there’s liquid sustenance on offer while you’re waiting.

* We will have lots of Neil’s other titles as well as The Graveyard Book so you could probably sort out your entire family’s Christmas presents in one fell swoop should you wish – your Granny might love a signed copy of The Dangerous Alphabet…
