One of my favorite haunts when I'm in London is Stanfords, the travel bookstore close to Covent Gardens...and one of my favorite authors is William Dalrymple. So when both come together in an event to be held at the Royal Geographical Society, I am ready with my credit card to buy a ticket.
However, as I will still be in Bhutan on October 7, I will miss the event, but look forward to buying the book when I am in London.
I posted about Nine Lives earlier on TTP.
