After the launch at Preshute School we’ve been swamped by demand. We’ve had such diverse retail enquires from the British Library to Southwark Cathedral. In our small town of Marlborough we now have three stockists! Ducks - the local toy shop will become the main stockist for us locally - which is great. Waterstone’s have only had their copies for a few days and are already re-ordering after some shops have sold out - which is wonderful news - I only hope we can keep up with demand.

Another exciting thing is the amount of interest we had from parents at the local school. If we replicate their interest just across the UK we could sell over 800,000 copies of Bookchase®. I think 2008 will be the Year of Bookchase. We’re going to have to do Bookchase® signings at this rate…

I’m already being asked where people can buy Bookchase®. Well, obviously from us. Definitely from Waterstones in the next few weeks and from quite few other people once they get to hear about it I’m sure.

Picking up my luggage from the carousel at Frankfurt airport I was pleasantly pleased to hear that after only one viewing of the first Bookchase® prototype Waterstones has decided to range/scaleout Bookchase® to around 170 of their stores. This is great news and not bad for a standing start given we didn’t intend to sell to ‘the trade’ until 2008. Looking forward to seeing in the shops…
