The chef James Martin will be coming to the WHSmith store in Leeds on December 11th, 1-2pm.
His signing in Waterstones a few weeks ago was cancelled, so if anyone missed out on that you have another chance.
I think I might go and get it as a Christmas present for my sisters husband.

I'm definitely going to the Beano one because I have loved the Beano since I was little (although I prefered the Dandy!).
The other 2 sound VERY interesting so I'm going to try and go to them as well, I'll wait until a bit nearer the time to book them though as I may change my mind or make other plans. I'm definitely going to try and make it to the Jessica Meyer signing but I'll see about the Michael Bunting one.
