Thanks, Martina. Most books are bought by women, often as gifts - the big book-selling days are Fathers' Day and Christmas - so cookbooks are a reliable choice. Celebrity autobiographies too, particularly of sporting figures - though an up-tick in non-fiction sales a few years back was traced, depressingly, to a vogue for adult colouring books.
Great stories here and I’m sure you have a million of them. I used to love to go to book signings and readings but you don’t see them much here anymore. Generally the big chains like Barnes & Noble. I see a lot more cookbook signings. Maybe people come out for the food. 😁

Most interesting John.
