This sounds very interesting. Is this your way to tell us to keep an eye out in the bookshops and to contribute to the "Diamond Geezer Retirement Fund"

Ooh exciting! Always said you should write a book, although I had assumed it would be of blog content! I trust this was November 2009 and your tomes are about to hit the shops. Good luck! Your army of loyal readers/amateur publicists are ready to spread the word!

You can count on me to increase those royalties by the tiniest little margin.

Hope your loyal readers will be invited to the launch!

I'm concerned about the 'April-ness'. I too would love to see you in print but something here is not ringing true. Looking forward to the next part of the story and the demolition of my suspicions...

April-ness: Something to coincide with the upcoming Royal Wedding?

Well done that man!

Excellent news. I'll be first in the queue to buy it, even if it is about the Royal Wedding...

I don't buy it -- it's a bait-and-switch-and-switch.
We're about to find out how DGs adventure in publishing crashes onto the rocks. And then he announces that he's publishing (that/another) book anyway.
And it can't be the Royal Wedding, the initial conversation would have to have been in Nov '09 way before the wedding was on, let alone scheduled. The Olympics would make more sense (i.e. next April) but were is the gap in the market there?
Any major other major celebrations this April? Major rail lines celebrating an anniversary?
Whatever happens, good luck/well done DG -- I'll pick up a copy of whatever it is regardless, if one materializes.

I think April as the ideal launching month is probably because people start holidays and also spend more time outdoors after April.
I can only think that maybe we shall see a book “Exploring London’s little known parks” or something along those lines.

Hmmm...something in this post sounds rather familiar...

Good for you.
I had a feeling this was going to turn into one of those "turned down due to morals" stories.

I think I can safely say one title it will not be is "The 2012 Olympics and how I got to LOVE them".

This all rings too true...and I've a very heavy feeling in my stomach reading this.
*waits for next installment*

I don't think it's dubious - I think it's a budding new young project manager in the making who's been given a budget to see what she can do.
Good luck.
Sadly for us, I think it must mean less or less interesting stuff on this blog, because the good stuff will go into the book. And so it should.
Like I said, good luck.

London Book Fair is usually in April? Good luck and will await with interest.

Well you certainly have a book in you. I hope this is not another sad story because have been waiting for this book for a long time.

Was there with you in that 'can't dare to hope' suspension right up until the final line of today's post.
DG's a fair and fine anatomist of London's minutiae. The book deal (get yourself a good lawyer before signing anything!)is well deserved.

I`ve always wondered how the hell you find the time to write the blog let alone a book and on top of that not repeat yourself.
It will certainly be on my wish list but as roehampster says get a lawyer

I hope it comes to fruition, but I must admit my first thought was to how you'll manage to keep your anonymity amongst the flurry of promotion! You've always been so careful in that dept!

Will there be a version on Kindle?

"*April* is the cruellest month".
Was it a book about T.S. Eliot's London abodes?
Footnote; if so, I walk past the site of his first wife's demise frequently.

Dear DG Author,
I enjoy everything you write, and if you have the time and energy - try the book deal. It will be a learning experience. Consulting a lawyer might be a good idea.
What will Diamond Geezer decide to do? Best wishes & luck!
Please don't publish your creation on April Fool's Day.

You've already written on your blog a rather classic book about off-the-track parts of London in the 21st century (I expect no-one else has done it). I hope it becomes a book in some form.

April eh. I’ll have to find my library ticket. Want to be first in the queue.

I'm in the process of publishing my non-fiction book too but I cut out the middlemen publishers / editors / busybodies and am going through createspace.com.
