I've been trying to buy a Reginald Hill book to read for the
celebration of his life that's taking place this month. So far I've been to six bookshops and not found a single copy of any of his books, which has been a surprise. I'm off to Aberystwyth on Tuesday, assuming I can get through the floods (right), to do my external examining gig, and will take a scout round the bookshops there. If I've no joy there, then I'll have to resort to some online shopping. Other than that, it's been business as usual this last week. I did a TV interview for Danish television on Thursday. One of the Irish banks is owned by Danske Bank and they've been burned by the Irish property market. I've also posted on that a couple of times this week (see below).

If this is the standard of banking analysis no wonder we're in trouble

Rob - Thanks for the mention. It's so odd you haven't been able to find any Reg Hill books. I hope have you some better luck this week!
Rob,
I echo Margot’s thanks here. I understand that HarperCollins is reissuing Hill’s paperbacks.
Have a good time in Aberystwyth. A local resident left me a message today to say it’s not all flooded out; thankfully they were OK where she lives. But what a terrible amount of damage! Perhaps you’ll find Hill in a Waterstones there.
