Congratulations to the staff of Daunt Books in Holland Park, who in less than an hour last night managed to sell their entire stock of Quartet’s new fiction title, Creating Rachel.
The one hundred copies they ordered were snatched by a crowd of enthusiastic well-wishers who attended a small launch party organised by the author himself.
The solidarity shown by his friends was a pleasant and much-needed breath of fresh air for the gloomy state of the book trade.
I hope their admirable example will repeat itself on future occasions.
