Although Wessex Press, who organise the event, haven't yet officially said so, they're planning to launch a new, revised and much enlarged edition of my book 221BBC at the Indiana University weekend....

Will this new tome be available to purchase online Bert?

Do you mean as in order the book online? Or do you mean some online incarnation?

Jeremy, the book will be up on the Wessex Press website after the event, for mail order purchase. There won't be an ebook edition, at least not just yet. Meanwhile, here's the front cover...And the...

I am planning on being there. I own Bert’s first version of his book, 221 BBC, and I had him autograph that one back at “From Gillette to Brett III” in 2011. This time, I’ll buy the new edition and...

While I will not be there, the expanded version of 221BBC is very welcome news. Holmesfan and I were actually talking about that via e-mail the other day, and hoping you would produce an expanded...

Jeremy, thanks for your interest. The new edition is around 300 pages (compared to the original's 76) and has new material on the canonical episodes as well as coverage of all the Further Adventures,...

I was intending to reread the existing version, but now I'll hold off for the extended cut. Looking forward to the expanded insights Bert.

http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news-archive/23961.htmlI realized this morning that the conference isn't going to have Joel Silver, the movie producer, as a guest. Instead, it will be this Joel Silver,...

Day one today: looking forward to it immensely. Gasogene Books have done a beautiful job with my book.

I agree: it was a wonderful weekend. The Lilly Library is amazingly hands-on: I never thought I'd ever in my life have the chance not only to look at but also to handle a 1623 Shakespeare First...

Seriously, it all sounds so fantastic. Thanks for allowing us to experience it vicariously.

I'm envious. Was that during Joel Silver's second-shift library presentation? I was on the first, and the Beeton's didn't get passed around. Mind you, the First Folio's not exactly a shabby...

This took place right after the first-shift presentation. I was in there with you - but I sat near the back. You're right - Mr. Silver didn't pass the Beeton's around during his talk. When I was at...

Thanks for that. I'm afraid I was still in my First Folio daze and wandered out of the room oblivious to what was happening behind me.
