A present

I arrived in the office this morning to find a package on my desk. It was a book wrapped in bubble wrap. I opened it to discover it was Flying Solo:Tales of a Bounty Hunter by Jeremy Bulloch. For those of you who don't know Jeremy Bulloch played Boba Fett in the Star Wars movies. The book is in hardback in a slip case (picture), I opened it up and it's a limited edition, one of 2000 and my number matches the day and month of my birthday. On top of that it is signed to me. How incredibly cool.

Now this sort of thing doesn't happen everyday so I'll explain. It was a present from my boss Dickie who's brother-in-law is the son of Jeremy Bulloch. He had mentioned this fact to me ages ago and asked if I'd like something signed. Actually the first question was are you a Star Wars fan, to which the people around the table who knew me groaned. So there we go a brilliant surprise present.

The book is really well made, one of those books that remind you why books are so great. It's got a selection of pages full of glossy photos too. And the chapter titles sound intriguing. I want to get started now. I shall report back with a review when I've read it.
