Mike, As far as I know there will not be any in German but this may change if there is the demand,
Nick,
Congratulations and how exciting this is for such a great accomplishment! Well Done!!

It would be fantastic if you could add me to your list of those wanting a signed copy. :)

I'm with Greg on this one-- it would be GREAT to come pick up the book personally in the U.K. -- what a treat that would be................

Sounds like this Matchbox convention may have great potential Nick, with the print date so far away, there would be plenty time to organise it??

Your thoughts on this would be welcomed as I have often wondered why there is nothing like it in the UK!!!

I wonder if it could be organised to be part of a largish toy fair and as a member of the club responsible for the Windsor toy fair, I could make enquiries for booking a table or Two (I get a discount on table prices anyway), and what we can and can not do during the toy fair with a book launch, while the general public are in attendance.

Now of course Windsor is some way from Birmingham (the NEC Birmingham toy fair), so will cause problems for our friends North of the border, but there may be a chance for "Motorman" and others, to attend as he has shown an interest in attending the Sandown Park toy fair which is not that much further up country than Windsor!

If this is to become a reality and Nick is happy with such a book launch, in such a location, lets have all your thoughts on this.

I haven't been to the UK since the last MICA convention - so I would love to take the chance to come back again and to pick up a few copies of the book in Person (one for myself, and a few more for some other German collectors)!!
Oh, yes - and it would be nice to meet up with a few more crazy people like me.

I was going to see a doctor about the voice in my head, but the other one convinced me it was my imagination and not to be silly :?
