The Lost Art bookplate offer Right then - a story: I was at a party with the ineffable Simon Taylor, editor of Random House's Transworld division. He said he should have brought his copy of The Lost Art with him so I could sign it. I said I'd send him a signed bookplate so he could put it in his copy. The rest, as they say, is history. I will post a signed, personalised, numbered bookplate to the first ninety-nine people who want one to put in their copy of The Lost Art. I will do this entirely free of charge, to anywhere in the world. The bookplate measures 10cm x 7cm and is printed on photo quality paper at 600dpi. It features entirely original (but hopefully quite decent) artwork by me. Three conditions: one bookplate per domestic postal address; each bookplate must be to someone - I won't just sign it; there will only ever be 100 bookplates - one's already gone, ninety-nine are up for grabs. The offer will close after that. I reserve the right to refuse the offer to anyone, no contract or liability is implied, accepted or offered, I'm not responsible for undelivered/undeliverable mail, and your contact details will not be kept by me or given to a third party. Assuming that's okay, click here. Don't forget to include the following information: The name you want to appear on the bookplate - even if it's for you! Where in the world I'm sending the bookplate - your name and full postal address, including country if it's outside the UK. Spelling is important - if not vital.
