Hello Stanley I have received my signed and dedicated copy of 'cuckoo' and I am very seriously highly chuffed!! My Tobin books take pride of place on the top shelf of my bookcase and on the wall above are the two emails that I received from you. Almost two decades ago I commenced a little project that remains unfinished but hope springs eternal ... I visited Liverpool London Majorca Ireland Bahamas and Miami - I had ambitions of following in the footsteps of my hero Russ Tobin. I'm ashamed to say that South Africa the western states of America and Australasia remain strangers to me. So does New York and Canada but I'll be putting that right in May next year. Stanley a million thanks for the laughs and the hours of great reading. I'll be praying for many more to follow. Martin
