This article caught my eye - Tony Blair is due to sign his latest book, "A Journey", at Waterstones soon, but he will only sign his name (no personal dedication allowed), your phone (and/or camera) will be taken from you and you will be ushered through quickly so that the shop can maximise the numbers. I can understand a high level of security for our former Prime Minister, but it sort of defeats the idea of a book signing. It should be an opportunity to talk to one of your favourite authors and receive a personal memento. This sound like you just get a book with his signature and nothing else to show that you were actually there!!
Your Sunday questions are:-
- John Metcalf (right), also known as Blind Jack of Knaresborough, was born today in 1717 and became one of the first professional builders of what?
- Actor Tony Robinson was born today in 1946 and has presented which Channel 4 programme since 1994?
