Last night saw the launch of The Blogger Who Came in from the Cold by Gordon Lawrie in Blackwell's South Bridge, Edinburgh. Gordon was "in discussion" with the Edinburgh International Book Festival's Helen Chomczuk (although she was anxious to make it clear that her role there is a non-creative one). Helen also happens to be his daughter.
The evening was really well attended. Helen skilfully prised a few nuggets from Gordon, who also read a couple of excerpts and played a couple of snippets of not-very-good (his words) music from the book. Questions followed from the floor to conclude a fast-flowing evening which one observer described as "buzzing".
