Just to say that my copy arrived this morning. First impression, from a very brief glance, is good. I shall start reading it properly this evening.

I ordered mine at the end of last week, awaiting its arrival eagerly!
Can't get back to RDGC soon enough

I tried ordering through Waterstones and they cancelled my order saying the publication of the book "had been abandoned". I find that hard to believe and will try to order through the brochure info.

Pete


I ordered direct and I'm pleased to say I've got mine and while I've barely got a quarter of the way through it I'm enjoying it. There's certainly a lot of reading that includes his family background, business, other sporting endeavours etc which might not appeal to somone interested in only the gca side of things but  still an enjoyable read.

Pete -- I will ask Philip if he is aware what is going on.

I have contacted Waterstones and told them they have been misinformed by their supplier.
