At the beginning I was a little bit skeptical but it seems that your ideas are very interesting. Great video. I'm super interested in the book now.

This book sounds very interesting. I look forward to reading it.

The book looks very interesting.

I am looking forward to reading the whole thing.

The book looks good! It'll definitely be available at Waterstone's Trafalgar Square...maybe not the £50 Hardback, but definitely the Paperback edition. Hopefully a few signed editions eh David? Well done again!

@ghidorah221 Thank you! Nobody is meant to buy the hardback. That's for libraries and mad people. However the £15 paperback will be an excellent Easter 2011 gift for everyone's families, friends, and pets.

You have sold at least one copy. Its coming to me.

So, David, if creativity is so vital (and I believe it is) why do schools focus so strongly on academic skills, dismissing those who have difficulties with reading and writng, by stifling their practical skills and curiosities?... (probably a symptom of modernity)
