  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Nice.
