Thanks, British Lions

The record of three wins in three hides a few concerns for Ian McGeechan, Stephen Jones, Matthew Rees and co. But it's no time for pessimism (the England 20 Twenty cricket XI are monopolising that field).
Indeed, there's a splendid reason for Lions-related optimism, albeit a reason based on selfishness - yes, the South African tour has triggered interest from bookshops in the fine rugby tome Faces of Stradey Park. I know because I'm the author.
To date it's been sold exclusively through Scarlets outlets but now it's been picked up by multi-national bookseller Borders. I was equally chuffed to see it in Killay News, my local newsagent deep in the heart of Ospreys country.
The book's done well in the Scarlets heartland and it'll be given another boost this October when the first anniversary of the momentous move from Stradey occurs.
If you know of any sports loving booksellers who'd like to stock the Faces of Stradey Park, give me a shout!
