Gwaihir, Terry Pratchett was holding a signing in London for "Interesting Times" when I worked there. I went in, bought all the books, and got him to sign every one.

It was great, he stamps each books with a UU stamp (has the motto on it) and put a message in each one which was related to the book eg in "Interesting Times" he put, "to Rob (for that is my real name) live in interesting times".

He has done a couple of other signings and each time, I have got all the books and got him to sign the lot.

Forgot, my favourite is probably The Last Continent.

Dunno why but strolling around saying "No worries, she'll be right", "bonza" and "anyone fancy a meat pie floater and a couple of tinnies?" just suits me down to the ground...

Perhaps I am just a frustrated Australian (aren't they all?)

The jewel of my book collection BTW is a first edition lord of the rings signed by JRR himself.
