This book is destined to be a best seller. I hope it is a massive success for both of you. Any book signings in London likely?
Comment by Donna Toms — March 9, 2010 @ 2:31 pm
Hi Donna – signings around London will probably be in suburbs when Joe is playing in the locality. Great Northern Books reckon that there’s little point in a Central London signing session as it’s more about tourists. If you keep looking at the site I will update regularly where the signings will be taking place.

Thanks Jean … there will probably be a signing in Bournemouth when Joe appears there. x

Thanks Chris for all the info. Hope to see Joe somewhere in the north, maybe Hull. Be good if he does Manchester.
