Next time I see you I'll have all of these. Didn't realize so many were in print, it's sometimes hard to track down if a story is in a book somewhere. And I ran out of time.

Thanks again!

I don't think that was me, but I did also once bring 64 books for Terry Brooks to sign to a Ravencon.

And 65 for Gavin Thorpe last week at World Fantasy, that was in luggage.

It is silly, and yet we do it anyway, who knows why

As a book collector, I sometimes deal at local book cons.

#1 advice: Make friends with people in the industry.

#2: make a list of things you need to bring, and keep updating it every con. Put the list on your phone.

Lots of good things in this thread.

Went to Brighton for the con, saw some nice stuff in the art show. Picked up some Redwall prints. I also love the Keepers of Edenvant so I'd love to have a print of that piece too. Went to the bazaar for shopping, can't escape baseball, but picked up a silk dress for Sam.

Saw a jar of moles, didn't disappoint. Got a 3d print of a fish skeleton. Saw the Totoro play I can't recommend enough.

The Arcanist's Tavern in London was fantastic. They have the vibe I want when I get a bookstore and run DnD in it.

Spotted Adrian near the karaoke, I think that's the last I'll get. I think that makes 15 wathammer signatures this con?

Got it thank you so much! And i'm up to 9 WH authors. Hoping for a few more tomorrow

I missed one @johnfrench.bsky.social story! Maybe i'll catch you before you leave tomorrow
