Pushing Ahead of the Dame 
Brilliant. Chris – will there be an opportunity to buy & get the book signed at Manchester on 16/3?
i think so—should have the details of that soon. it might not be in a bookstore.
Can’t wait. Rebel Rebel is streets ahead of every other DB book I’ve read (& I’ve worked through most of them since the late 70s). Safe travels 🙂
