I can't find my signed book from Duxford. Thing is I put it safe which is always a bad idea. I might have to actually tidy my room in order to locate it. Crap.

Books

Probably the only books I have that were signed by the Author are---"The Desert Road" and "A Fair Sort of Battering" by Megan Hutching. They are also signed by Helen Clarke the New Zealand Prime Minister.
Best of all they were gifts.
