    Is Lemond writing another one,he must be getting hard up.

    Dolly Parton certainly has some big hits.

    All dozen of them [:)]...I am confused by exactly how many books he has written, and all of them seemingly about the same story...?

    So, does this mean that the whole "Robert Millar" question can finally be put to rest?

    the millar book is only 'delayed' because amazon figured the release date was in may. in fact the book will be published on monday 4 june, as was always intended.

    review on thewashingmachinepost later this week:-)

    Does that mean I'll get my copy from Amazon before I go on holiday on 11th June?[:o)]

    Methinks the turnout might be higher if he'd chosen a slightly less out of the way spot? - like Birmingham.

    Eh! I dont think there is any competition. Where would you rather be?
    Anyway it is not a launch but more a gathering of friends.

    Jocksboy! How come you received your copy?
    I thought it was released early June. Ordered mine from Amazon months ago.

    From those articles it'll be interesting to see how much more of an insight into Robert Millar this book will provide than is already out there for public consumption. Not a lot I suspect as it seems the man himself has had no input and the other people who know him seem to be keeping things close to their chest as well. I think I'll wait until Robert pens his own thoughts - hopefully not though, but one suspects I may be waiting a long time.
