BOOKMAN BEATTIE OFF TO LONDON - CAB DUE IN 15 MINUTES

Farewell for now, next blog from London.

Did anyone happen to read Paul Holmes inane column in the Herald on Sunday yesterday regarding New Zealand authors and New Zealand books? If he had deliberately set out to display his own arrogance and ignorance he couldn't have done a better job.
My advice to him is to stick to broadcasting and forget his writing attempts.
I don't have time to reply to him now but if anyone else read it and was offended please feel free to add a comment to the blog.
