Thanks for the links to exibitors, I'm feeling a bit cheeky so I'm just going to add a sneaky mention about the CILIP West Midlands stand - we were also there, and had just re-launched our CILIP WM blog which can now be found at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/cilipwestmidlandsKatharine Widdowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824167388969590553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949346689589512096.post-17490595884892483062009-06-13T16:21:25.055+01:002009-06-13T16:21:25.055+01:00Thank you for this post, Carl.

I didn't know that you would drink the over-priced coffee so I didn't have to but I couldn't fit Birmingham as well as Cambridge, Northampton and London into two days - something had to give and it turned out to be The Library Show.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190033400781979299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949346689589512096.post-63322564966970466982009-06-12T07:23:44.420+01:002009-06-12T07:23:44.420+01:00Dear Carl,

Others make comparisons. <br /> Alan<br />So in one sense you are right, I am “Not the first writer to think they can match Lewis Carol” because I do not, except in the following sense: “But Carroll did not receive any editorial input from Macmillan, and had to bear all the costs of illustration, paper and binding himself. It cost him a fortune.<br /><br />When I first learned that he'd paid for it all himself, out of his rather meagre salary, I warmed to him. Here he was, a totally unknown author, believing in himself and prepared to take a risk.<br /><br />He was painstaking about the production of his books, ensuring that the illustrations should be on the same page as the text to which they related, and making sure that every detail was as perfect as it could be.” (quoting Jenny Woolf, From Somewhere in Time)Alan Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782376909149809854noreply@blogger.com
