MICHAEL HOLDEN "All Ears" Signing 13th December from 1pm

There is nothing dignified about listening to other peoples conversations, especially if these are thrust upon us as we stand in crowded London bus, packed sardine-style with complete strangers shouting into their mobile phones. No one, however, has ever attempted to raise eavesdropping to an art form, or recognize what verbal gems are being thrown around us every minute of our waking urban existence. Gathered for the first time in a volume, and accompanied by Andy Watt s iconic illustrations, are Michael Holden s hit stolen dialogues , which readers of the Saturday Guardian where they were serialized since April 2005 will immediately recognize.
