I KNEW Rankin would get a mention here!!! :(

Dr Blockbuster was at least 5 of the 200,000 :roflmAo: Seriously though, Dr Blockbuster of blockbusterbooks was most impressed with the Festival this year .... with one notable exception not there :wink: There was a real buzz and so many present spoke highly of the author events they had been to. Charlotte Square gardens is such a great place for the event ... you can sit and relax in the sun, should it appear, and read a little or talk to other strange book people :smiles:

Which reminds me of a FUN story that Clarissa Dickson Wright told. She said that her publishers wanted to title her new book "One Fat Lady". I wasn't having that she said ... so it is called "Spilling the Beans"!

So congratulations again to Catherine Lockerbie for organizing such a great event!

Dr Blockbuster wants something else for next year : MORE FOOD !
