I've just ordered a copy - thanks for prompting me. I meant to come to 
the launch last Thursday, as I was on holiday last week, but I came up 
to London on Wednesday night to go to a life-drawing class with an old 
school friend of mine, and it rained so heavily that a load of trains 
were cancelled on the way back, I missed the bus and had to walk home 
(an hour and a half), and I ended up getting in at 2.30 in the morning. 
I was too knackered to do it all over again the next day. The perils of 
extreme weather events! It does sound like a really interesting book, 
though.
