Thanks to my fellow colleague Yves Bourgelas for the anecdote!
Those mishaps happen, from time to time, when the place is packed full.
And my calendar is packed, hence the delay!
A signed book is a treasure. I buy a lot of books from my fellows SF writers!
(This blunder really happened: I’m known for my absent-mindedness, but no book was harmed nor thrown on the floor in the telling of this event.)
FYI: Yves Meynard is also a Tor Books published author.

Those using the term “tax payers” are not only stating that people as walking
wallets, they exclude many amoins us who contribute positively to society.
Among others:
– Those too poor to pay return taxes on their income (and the very poor, the homeless, etc.)
– Small-wage earners, paying a 13% tax on purchases (except food and some
goods). This tax rate is only slightly less than many large companies, nominally
taxed at 15%! And they pay hidden fees on many services (and pay more with
privatization!)
– Retired who have worked all their lives for trivial pensions, made by
companies that have played at the casino with?
– Children and students.
– Large companies and their CEOs who send their profits in tax havens!
And when I hear “hard-working”, I always ask myself: are some people soft-working? Certainly not my fantastic fans!

My pile is always growing. Here is a snapshot of the current pile. The yellow
paper-riddled book (under the Revue Planches) is The Algal Bowl, Overfertilisation of the World’s Freswaters and Estuaries, which I consult often. Plus a number of unopened magazines I suscribe to…
It’s a sad realisation that I will never have the time to read all the *good* books from my writers friends… So I must proceed to a triage. If the story can’t retain my attention in the first 20 pages, I stop. If I don’t like the direction of a 800-page book, I quit.
It’s always difficult to tell a writer friend I won’t read her-his book. Most of them understand. I taste a lot of different novels, even the 1100-page Donna Tartt bestseller received as a gift…
