I'm going to one of the talks if i can get tickets but i was planning already getting one of my kafka on the shore print signed and i'm not sure what you'll even be allowed to get him to sign, it may just be copies of the new book.

I haven't read it yet but I have been told to give 'The wind-up bird chronicle' a go

Yeah, I was going to see if you were going to this as well. Would be great to get your print signed by him. :drool:

I'd say it'd be any book - or if not, then just the new book which is supposed to be great. Can't wait to grab it.

I'm reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle now and loving it. It's the last of his books that I haven't read. I strongly recommend reading Dance, Dance, Dance, Kafka on the Shore, Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and then once you've tackled those, give 1Q84 a shot. It's a big book, but it's one of my favourites.

Sorry man I think I'll be at Leeds festival on the August bank holiday weekend. I'll ask the girl from work though and let you know if she can do it.

Quick question guys a couple of my letterpress have been slipping in the last week. I'm assuming it's the heat? It's also partly to do with the cheap tin pot frames no doubt. I don't want to tape it in place. Any ideas?

I use a lot of XL photo corners (37mm ones) seem to work fine for most things

Wish I was up in Edinburgh I have some stuff I would love to get GRRM to sign.

No worries at all. The Leeds festival would be damn good so enjoy it.
