With the proof copy of First Maintain the Wall looking good, it has been time to order from the printers. One of the issues was when could I be at home for delivery. I was ordering 200 books (100 of What the Monk Didn't See as well). It was hardly fair to expect a neighbour to take them if I couldn't be at home. While pondering on delivery, it came to me that perhaps I could collect them myself as I was due to go to Devon. A quick search on the map showed me Imprint Digital were only ten miles from the family I was visiting in Tiverton, Devon. On Tuesday, I called David at Imprint and asked if my books could be ready by late Thursday afternoon. He seemed sure they would be and so it was agreed I would confirm on the day, subject to traffic.
With delays on the M25 it wasn't a great journey, but an hour after arriving in Tiverton, I set off down winding country lanes to collect my books. It was fantastic to meet David and the team, and to have a tour of the printing works.
With eight boxes in the boot of the car, I headed off and the books are now back in Kent awaiting delivery to local shops.
