I enjoyed the event (although it annoys me that you have to buy hardbacks at book signings. I'm just not a fan of them.)

For those of you who attended... there was a question from the audience asking Mr Gibson what was on his t-shirt. I think the answer was something about a 'full dog'. Forgive my stupidity but does anyone know what the joke is with that?

No idea about the t-shirt but I did enjoy the event. It was the second time I had seen him and had a book signed. Still one of my heroes. As far as books go, I like either format but I am leaning towards hardbacks for their re-readability and durability but paperbacks are that much more portable.

My problem with hardbacks is that they don't fit on the bookshelf along with everything else. I'm in a one bedroom flat so space is at a premium. But maybe I'm just obsessive about neat lines on the shelf or something

Mine are all over the shop, different heights and widths as even paperbacks these days are not always consistently sized. I have two sets of shelves for fiction and another two sets of shelves for all the other books. But thats a 3 bed house for you, I remeber my days on one bedded ness, stuff EVERYwhere

For those of you who didn't make it, and those who did, we are going to be showing a video of the interview on http://www.sci-fi-london.tv from September 8. That question oabout the T-shirt didn't make the final edit. I didn't get it either.
