In my case I love to have that blog in a book because I can read it anytime I wish without having to connect to internet and read the screen, which is something I don
You might get lucky, now and then

I didn't order the book and I don't intend to; I don't know what it is but it has become sort of redundant for me now that the tour is over. It was exciting when you could check everyday for updates but now... I don't know, I don't feel the need to re-read someone else's memories (but I do like Isaac of course - just to prevent misunderstandings). I prefer my own, even though they might not be that interesting for others.

I feel a bit like goldenheart. I read his blog almost daily and when he was first talking about the book I was sure I wanted to buy it. But now, a few months later, I don't want to have it anymore. Still, it's a great idea I think. Blogs and reading a screen is OK but you can't beat the feeling of holding a book.

I also have to add that I don't really like his writing style. But that is just a matter of personal taste of course, again, nothing against the author. It's just that I have other ideas of how a travel blog should be written, style-wise, which probably has something to do with the fact that I'm an editorial trainee.

My book arrived on Wednesday and I am thrilled with it espeically as Isaac included a photo of my wife and I sat in the second row at the Bournemouth show!! All jokes aside everyone to themselves but I can't stand reading computer screens too much and I liked the idea of a book as it personally holds happy memories of an outstanding MK tour! Isaac is in my oppinion an outstanding writer and I think he may go on to perhaps do other things with this wonderful gift he seems to have.
