Only stickers Gives a whole new meaning to masquerade costumes certainly.

Stickers are a very good idea especially with people wandering around all over the place.

TTA Press will have a stand in the Dealers Room at Eastercon.
I expect to be there. Hopefully other members of the team join me.
Some of them will be at TTA con in February.

Some people might find them appealing, Nesa.

Just had a look at the programme and saw that you were on the panel. I can get the rest of the books then.

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately I wont be able to come and heckle you because I'll be busy handing out free wine and launching a couple of books at the time... http://www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa/website/c...x?g=posts&t=53

Ah well, see you in the bar sometime beforehand!

Re: Eastercon 2008, Orbital
You've got some wonderful cover art on those books Ian. Could you keep one of each for me please? I'll try and be there for the launch, though I would like to be at Mark's panel too.

Thanks, Nesa -- must confess, I'm delighted with the way both books have turned out. I'll certainly keep you copies. It would be great to see you at the launch, but I quite understand if not -- I'd like to see Mark's panel too. Look forward to meeting you at some point over the weekend in any case.

Just noticed this

How much is it? It doesn't seem to say unless I actually book it. ( I'm probably being blind again!)

attending membership is now £55.00 but typical rip-off London hotel prices £94.00 a night for a single room. roll on next years Eastercon in Bradford more reasonable room rates.

Re: Eastercon 2008, Orbital
yeah, but I have to pay to get there too, which is what sends it over the edge.

Damn british rail and the high fares!!!
