Stephen Shieber and Rosalind Wyllie promo and signings

Following yesterday's announcement that we will be offering Stephen Shieber's Being Normal in the brand new Sony Reader format free to anyone who buys the paperback edition from our website, The Bookseller has picked up on the story (Publishers rally for Sony launch). Hark at us jostling with Penguin and Random House...


Stephen Shieber will be hitting the road on Saturday (6 September) for a couple of book signings at Borders stores in Manchester Fort (from 12 noon) and Stockport (from 3pm). Stephen grew up in nearby Poynton, so this is something of a 'homecoming', and he will be featured in the local press today. If you are in the area, why not pop along and say hello?

Meanwhile, Everything You Ever Wanted author Rosalind Wyllie has selected her Ten book to break your heart at the Book Depository.

Rosalind will also be signing copies of her book this Saturday (6 Sept) at Borders Silverlink, Newcastle from 12 noon. Rosalind's last signing was one of the most popular we've had, so get there early before stocks run out!

Elsewhere, Roger Stutter, author of Jonny Kennedy: The Story of The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off will be talking about the book and his friend Jonny at Gosforth Library, Newcastle tomorrow (Friday 5 September) from 2pm. Entry is free.
