Willem DafoeGUEST
Where'd you find a copy?
Edmund DonovanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I bought it at Foyles on Charing Cross Road, and then I read it at a pub in Covent Garden straight through.
Edmund DonovanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's brilliant.
Edmund DonovanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We all think so, my whole group.
LauraGUEST
Not too long, but a gorgeous palette cleanser to remind me about why I read.
LauraGUEST
So on that note, I read The Romantics by Pankaj Mishra, which was the book that my book club chose when we all got together in London and did a bit of a book hunt in Foyles.
LauraGUEST
I think we told Patreon listeners about that, but I don't know that I told the main feed listeners.
LauraGUEST
That's true, you should
LauraGUEST
And about 45 minutes in, we're like, oh, OK, I don't think we have anything left to say.
LauraGUEST
Which was a shame because we're so excited to see each other.
LauraGUEST
And usually we spend two hours down there and I was like, you know what? We're going to walk up the road, Charing Cross Road, and we're going to go to Foyles and we're going to do a book hunt.
LauraGUEST
And everyone has 15 minutes to pick three books and then report back at the front entrance and pitch them.
Jerry DoggettHOST
At shortstop will be Dick Rose.
Jerry DoggettHOST
The catcher, Hank Foyles.
Jerry DoggettHOST
Bill Mazeroski batting in the number eight spot, playing second base.
Jerry DoggettHOST
And Vernon Law on the mound to do the pitching.
22 MINS LATER
Vin ScullyHOST
Vince.
Vin ScullyHOST
Second inning, no score.
Vin ScullyHOST
Dick Grodd, Hank Foyles, and Bill Mazeroski coming up for Pittsburgh.
Vin ScullyHOST
Should anybody get on, maybe we'll see Vernon Law.
Joe FordHOST
In fact, I picked
Jon ArnoldGUEST
up her The Power in Foyles yesterday.
Jon ArnoldGUEST
Oh, it's fantastic.
Jon ArnoldGUEST
Again, you look at it, there's an intellect, there's a proper philosophical point behind it, just as there is to this one.
Winston MarshallHOST
... you'd like to bring attention to?
Bernie SpofforthGUEST
No, they can buy it from Foyles, from Waterstones, from the...
Bernie SpofforthGUEST
You can even get it from the Guardian Bookshop, but I think-
Winston MarshallHOST
You're kidding
Jon McKenzieGUEST
It's available all over the place.
Jon McKenzieGUEST
Um, so Amazon, Foyles, Blackwell's.
Jon McKenzieGUEST
But actually if you've got any American listeners, um, it doesn't release until-
Stamford ChidgeHOST
One or two
Stamford ChidgeHOST
I presume it's on Amazon as well, yeah?
Jon McKenzieGUEST
It's on Amazon, yeah.
Jon McKenzieGUEST
It's on Foyles.
Jon McKenzieGUEST
It's on...
Lauren BrownCORRESPONDENT
Volume could be up for the first time in years.
Lauren BrownCORRESPONDENT
So there's clearly the appetite there, and we've got a mix of these, these bigger bookshops, like Waterstones, Foyles.
Lauren BrownCORRESPONDENT
But then at the other end, we've got independent bookshops, but I think they're being squeezed from all sides at the moment, particularly with business rates reform.
Lauren BrownCORRESPONDENT
Which-
Daniel GraceGUEST
So the book's widely available, you know, through all channels online, from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target, you know, any- anywhere you were to buy any book, the book's available.
Daniel GraceGUEST
It's in, you know, in terms of retail, kind of the broad retail platforms, the Barnes & Nobles, the, the, in the UK, the Waterstones, the Foyles, the Hatchards.
Daniel GraceGUEST
Certainly online, it's in some of the stores, so it's a, it's a, it's, it's, it's, you know, widely available.
Daniel GraceGUEST
There's an, an audiobook that's available on, on Audible and Spotify and Apple Books and Google Play as well.
Sam SmithHOST
Like I don't, listen, I don't think it will be through a lack of effort for them.
Sam SmithHOST
But again, if they two are to go, well, if they three are to go, that's another three signings from last summer that have, that would have found their way out the club already, which doesn't really bode, uh, doesn't really reflect well on Robinson and Foyles' last, last bits of, last bits of business.
Jamie CoburnHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jamie CoburnHOST
Agreed.
Bob StanleyGUEST
Um, yeah, it's got some, um, signings in, in shops, um, in late September, beginning of October.
Bob StanleyGUEST
I think I'm doing something at Foyles, hopefully with Warren Bennett, um, Brian's son, who was, uh-
Mark EllenHOST
Right
Bob StanleyGUEST
