Review
Blads were sent to football magazines and men's magazines and finished copies have now gone out. Sir Bobby Robson will be doing an event at the Newcastleclub shop on 23rd October (tbc) and also at Costco (date tbc) we are still waiting to hear from the lawyers whether he can legally do any Waterstones signings. He has also agreed to sign a small quantity of bookplates. Lumley Castle Hotel in Durham have offered to put on a small launch party for Sir Bobby on 16th October 2003, we have invited a few booksellers and the club are inviting local press. Bob Harris is doing some local radio interviews with BBC RADIO NEWCASTLE, BBC RADIO SUFFOLK and other stations. CENTURY FM in Newcastle are doing a giveaway of 6 copies on the 'most-listened-to phone-in in the country'. We are expecting lots of reviews in football magazines.
