Salon International du Livre et de la Presse et du Multimédia, Palexpo, Geneva April 30th to May 4th… To the best of my knowledge, (unless of course somebody else has already done it without letting me know, which really does NOT make much sense…) this is the first...

John’s Big Day Out… or a Few Days in Middle-Earth. Just returned from New Zealand. Had a free day in Wellington, and the privilege of seeing the Lord of the Rings Exhibition at Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand. (Unless my memory is totally shot, “Te Papa...
