The book has been out for five months now. The best thing from my point of view is the number of people who have got back in touch after many years, including Lawrence Till, who directed the 2005 revival of Alfie the Musical so brilliantly. Thanks also to the many friends (and some strangers) who have kindly bought the book and reviewed it on Amazon. FAQ: how many copies has it sold? A: we won’t know until December when the publisher, The Book Guild, accounts for sales and royalties.
