ALBERTO PAULINO: OFFICIAL RECOGNITION

The Demi-Monde: #1 in Richmond WH Smith's!

Alberto Paulino is a book fan and collector and was the first guy in the queue at the Forbidden Planet signing. He has asked that I officially confirm this, which I am delighted to do.

Therefore, let it be known that Alberto Paulino was the very first person to have a copies of The Demi-Monde: Winter (ten of them actually) signed at a public event by yours truly!

Hope that's OK, Alberto, and thanks for this picture from the Richmond branch of WH Smiths. It really warms the cockles of my heart.
