  9. @john_self Eeeek! *shoots self* Can you send them to me and I'll have them corrected for the next printing.
  10. Lovely Big Issue review for HHhH: bigissue.com/reviews/book-r… 'properly thrilling...so good that when I was reading it time seemed to fly by'
  11. @john_self How are you enjoying it so far? I checked one set of proofs so need to go and read it properly at one point.
  12. Soothing my nerves after nearly being run over on my way to work, with this excellent blog on foreign rights & the LBF: vintage-books.co.uk/books/Internat…
  13. Also very much like that certain authors do hugely well in certain territories (i.e Simon Beckett in Germany, Donna Leon in Switzerland)
  14. Just had a whistlestop tour of the international book market from my colleagues in sales. Amazing what a huge part of our business it is.
  15. Huzzah! Absolutely thrilled @erinmorgenstern's The Night Circus has been picked as one of the summer book club titles thebookseller.com/news/rhg-score…
  16. Fancy reading an exclusive new extract from The Night Circus? Then hurry over to daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/blog-t… as part of the #NightCircusTour
  17. Hurrah - Laurent Binet's brilliant HHhH is at number 11 in the hb fiction charts (curse you James Patterson, for pipping him to 10)!
