Is there someway photographs of the Great & the Good – or, rather the Not-So-Great & the decidedly UnGood (Archer, Barclays, Evans, Fayed, Moron, Neill etc.)- visiting the exhibition can be taken and then printed in the Eye for our amusement?

Oddly enough, Stephen, several of the people you mentioned were in fact at the exhibition: Piers Morgan was chatting to Ian in a very friendly fashion, and the Barclay twins arrived by helicopter in the V&A courtyard! Adam looked splendid, dressed in his customary Comme des Garçons suit.

Oh come off it, Andrew, that was my Issey Miyake suit. Richard Desmond and Esther Rantzen specifically complimented me on it…

That was due to the strangely shaped vegetable sticking out of it.

Very good to see you at the lit fest Adam. Also good to see the editor is the same size as me.

I must have been one of the minority who didn’t brave the signing, as I couldn’t face paying RRP for the book (25 quid!) in the book tent.

I went on the Eye website and saw that you link to Amazon who are flogging it for only 15 pounds. Are your masters trying to ensure that you are out of pocket, or do you not lose out if the book is cheaper?

I’m assured my cut is the same whatever price it sells at… but you have identified one of the reasons I was surprised to see such a long queue!

That’s a relief. Mine arrived in the post today, so I can now enjoy with my conscience salved.

Take that Waterstones!
