Today's news headlines in Edinburgh: the serialisation of Alexander McCall Smith's new novel. It'll appear in daily episodes in The Scotsman newspaper before being published in book format.
Oh yay! I'm actually still trying to get through The Dog who Came in from the Cold which arrives in my inbox daily from The Telegraph. So thanks for this heads up.
After one of his books I can´t say that I eagerly look forward to his new one as there is still plenty to explore in his previous works. Still, the serialisation sounds so natural as the book was easy to read because there were so many short parts. Buying a book would be so much cheaper and convenient than buying every newspaper of that story.

ReplyDeleteSo thanks for this heads up.
What a treat. Does he do this with every one?
ReplyDeleteSomething to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way through the series. I have you to thank for that, your post on Scotland Street got me interested.
