Which feels a bit odd, because it's already been selling for a week and we're not doing a big party thing with Scholastic til later in the month. But still. \u003Cb>Hurrah!\u003C/b>\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/paulrothe5-13904c09f4.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI've been working on this brilliant book with The Two Davids, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.scribblehound.com\">David O'Connell\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.writeaway.org.uk/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3372/Itemid,99999999/\">David Fickling\u003C/a>. But David Fickling is the pickiest publisher/editor on the planet (which is just one of the reasons he's possibly the world's best editor), so Dave and I have had to rewrite the script about five times now. So after the fourth script went kaput with Hannah, before it even got to David, I took it to town with me while I was running some errands (including buying \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/276729.html\">princess tiara beads\u003C/a>). I was going to set up shop in the atrium of the Wallace Collection, but I noticed this deli, \u003Cb>Paul Rothe & Sons\u003C/b>, along the way and ended up at one of the tables, having a big lunch and getting loads of work done. \\r\n\\r\nHere are two of the dashing deli men, Paul and Stephen, and some of the fabulous old-time sweets they sell in the shop:\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/paulrothe2-f4211f3fdd.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/paulrothe3-c6486f41ec.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more More photos and a button shop under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/paulrothe1-97654fe84e.jpg\"> \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/paulrothe4-a5dcdf253d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nYou can \u003Ca href=\"http://russelldavies.typepad.com/ateaandathink/2006/09/paul_rothe_son_.html\">see more interesting photos of the place here\u003C/a>.
