PS… 100 years ago or maybe a bit less I, as Europe Sales Manager, had the great pleasure of visiting Malta on a sales trip three times a year, dealing then with Francis Miller of WHSmith, Ronnie Agius of The Times and Simon Bonello. I felt very grown up in my room at the Phoenicia and visiting local authors such as Nicholas Monsarrat! It will be great to be back!
