I’m not sure my books have ever before made it into the display at the front of a major bookstore, so it was a thrill to find Speaking the Piano just inside the main door of Blackwell’s Bookshop in Edinburgh (see photo) when we were there to do some Christmas shopping.

What’s more, it was right next to my husband Bob’s ‘Companion to Orchestral Music‘, whether by chance or because the bookstore staff knew we were a couple, I don’t know. Anyway, I couldn’t resist getting Bob to take a picture.
