Here we see me, all set up for the London Film & Comic Con at Olympia in London, Nov 11 & 12. It's my third time at the event, and for some reason I thought my table would be enhanced by pinning a bit of Star Wars material to the front. How rubbish did that look? Not that it hurt sales, as this ended up being my biggest weekend of book sales all year.
The event didn't attract art buyers, so my Dr Strange, Star Trek, Beano and Red Dwarf pages went largely ignored (unlike NICE, The Lakes, and the last LFCC, where art sales amounted to the bulk of my takings). Here are my takings from book sales alone:

A little earlier, on Nov 2nd, I'd done a class for Bridges Centre Monmouth, at Green Room in Chepstow, where I sold Richard The Thirds to parents afterwards, with the centre meeting half the costs, so the families got the books for £3 each. 23 books for a total of £153.77.
