Nick, due to the number of signed copies you are going to have to do, I have been in touch with the major Pen manufacturers in Britain and they have agreed to supply Pens in bulk loads at the book signing, both 'BIC' and 'Papermate' have put their workforce on overtime to help with supplies, we just need to let them know when and where it takes place...

I will settle for nothing less than a papermate.......i was actually expecting at the very least a Sheaffer Fountain pen to be absolutely frank about it!!

I was just looking through Amazon books, 'Antique & Collectable Toys, Games & Models'
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/ ... b_1_5_last
So I guess someone is happy to have an unsigned copy, My book is the 45th best seller, Two behind 'Model Collector Magazine Diecast Price guide' at 43rd best seller and two places ahead of 'Ramsays Diecast Price Guide' at 47th best seller. Looks like it is in selling pretty well for a book not due to be published until October.

Greetings Nick
Congratulations on developing all this information into yet another format.
The book looks great.
If you up to dealing with international postage, I'd be honored to buy a signed copy of your book.
As we get closer to the date for delivery of hard copies, please keep us posted on the details. I'm sure your 100 copies will go quickly.
Can't wait to see the hard copy.
Congrats!
Kurt

Wonderful job Nick.
Better work on those wrist exercises - wrist up, down, right, left & around.
I'll come to the UK in June to pick up my signed copy. Hmm… now Google maps ….. Clacton??

Might also be a good pretext for a cross-pond jaunt for me as well. The idea of a book launch combined with a gathering of sorts, formal or informal has a lot of appeal.Would be my first trip to England in 17 years, and I do love the old sod (even if I was born in New York, not Olde York)!
