@RogerB Set aside your modesty (
) : How many Book of the Year awards is this for you? Whatever the number, I think it's too small.
I don't collect the series but I definitely want to read the book anyway. Your books never disappoint.

Well deserved Roger - congratulations don't seem to be enough for all the work involved.
