Thanks Frank. This is my first Joe Abercrombie book. I got it mainly because it was signed and I wanted to try a new author. Probably not a good one to start with as I understand now it's the third book in a series.

Then you of cause need the signed books nr. 1+2.

Some weeks ago, Joe Abercrombie was in Germany and i was lucky to get the FIRST LAW books inscribed for me.

Congratulations on your signed First Law signed books.

Couple of small additions today. I was a bit disappointed by the first copy I got of this book so decided to upgrade it.

Clive Barker - The Scarlet Gospels - UK Advance Uncorrected Proof



I had a day off work today so decided to check out one of my local Waterstones. I am a bit of sucker for signed first editions at the moment, so I picked up this. If anybody wishes a copy of this signed book just let me know. If you don't know, this is the author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Louis De Bernieres - The Dust That Falls From Dreams - UK 1st/1st HB Waterstones Signed Copy





I also popped next door (almost - 2 minute walk) from Waterstones. Some people may recognise some of these shots from the Harry Potter movies as Hogwarts. The Cloisters were used in the filming and the tomb is of King Edward II.











In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the troll who smashed up the girls’ toilet, trapping Hermione, walked along the north side of the Cloisters while Harry and Ron hid in the Lavatorium just around the corner. The south side doubled as a corridor in Gryffindor, with the door at the west end of the passage being the entrance to the Common Room. This is also where the lady in the oil painting asks for the password.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the east wall at the end of the north walk is where the fateful words ‘The chamber of secrets has been opened’ appeared, written in blood. Just a few paces from here in the east walk, is where Moaning Myrtle flooded the toilets.

The west walk was used in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when Harry and Ron stood on the ledge just by the door through to the Coffee Shop. Harry also hides in the Lavatorium, at the dramatic moment where he overhears Snape saying he has already taken the unbreakable vow.

These are only some of the scenes for which the Cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral were used for the three films.
