h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Seems our suspiciousness was perhaps misplaced.
But the stylings are spookily similar...

Yes, that's true. Well, never mind, after all, we weren't negative or anything.

Would I be asking you to go to much trouble to bring an example of green sauce to the London meet?

I'll happily bring a package, the only trouble is, I'll have to buy it on Thursday already, as I'll fly to London on Friday, and I don't think I'll get a chance to buy some on my way to the airport. So it will be pretty much wilted by the time you get it on Saturday (I don't expect there'll be a fridge in the youth hostel where I'll stay). You can still use it, it's just that it will not look so pretty.

Excellent.

Have you had a chance to read The Dance Of The Voodoo Handbag yet?

I'm still reading it (I'm slow, I know, I keep getting distracted). I love it, and should finish this week, and I thought of taking it to London and give to somebody else there, as most of my friends are from England anyway.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Did you have anyone in mind?

I'll give it to lil, if that's ok with you.

I had just wondered if was worth my asking Hati or Pierce the Pirate if they were interested in it, as I'm heading to Sweden and saving everyone postage.
But, since you have someone in mind that's great.

The longterm goal is to get the book around the world, but I don't mind if that takes 10 years. I also hope that those that enjoy the book might be more inclined to buy a Rankin novel or even take part in Sproutlore.

Well, Hati will come to the meet in London, so I could give it to her there, and then maybe she can send it on.
It's all equal to me.

Well I've not asked her if she's interested. I wanted to know if you'd had chance to finish it before worrying about just where it goes afterward.
Have you already made mention of it to lil?

Yes, I asked her whether she'd be interested, and she said she was. And would possibly send it to Australia afterwards

Stick with sending it to lil then.

Ok, will do!

Are you posting the book to lil upon finish it?
Are you still enjoying it?

Yes and yes. Sorry I'm so slow at readiung this, but I just can't read when I'm tired, which I am often.
I will get there eventually.

Oh, I wasn't trying to hurry you.

Would you be interested in a signed copy of his next book?

Are you suggesting that you could get hold of one?

Hi dear, how are you?
I've sent you an email, it's partly in German (it's an automated message from my email provider), there's a link in it which should enable you to view my arcor photo album. Give me a shout if the link doesn't work, will you?

Hey there. I'm not too bad, thanks. And yourself, m'dear?
I got the e mail just fine.
I had flick through the pics a bit earlier. And then I wrote a reply here that probably got lost when I closed the wrong tab... something I do too often.
Looks like you guys had fun at the afternoon event.

Aye, the launch of the new book is approaching. A little too fast for my liking as I still lack the Victorian clothes I need for it.
But, yes I should be able to obtain a signed and dedicated copy of his next work. Hopefully this book will be a return to form, but there are no guarantees. I wasn't much overly impressed by The Toyminator.
