Introduction
I will begin by wishing a Happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates
these things, and a Happy Holiday Season to those who don't. You can see
my personal card here: http://www.seangabb.co.uk/christmas.htm
Book Recommendation 1
Richard Blake, who is a very dear friend of mine, has now published his
first novel in Italian. La Cospirazione Papale. This has already received
a most flattering review by Marian Halcombe. I urge all my Italian
readers to go out and buy copies of this novel. It will make an excellent
Christmas present for any Italian interested in how an Englishman sees
his country in the seventh century. And Mr Blake promises that, unlike
certain other popular novelists, he will never give a million pounds to
the Labour Party. You can order your copies here:

Book Recommendation 2
I have discovered another box of my own first novel, The Column of
Phocas. This means that after a year of being unavailable, it can now be
offered again to the public. Again, it will make an excellent Christmas
present for people who already have everything else. You can order copies
from me directly at http://www.candidlist.demon.co.uk/hampden/phocas.htm
All orders received will be sent out the same day. Again, I can promise
that not a penny of the proceeds will go to the Labour Party - assuming,
that is, the British State is not nowadays simply the executive wing of
the Labour Party.
Libertarian Alliance Conference
This has been set for the last weekend in October 2009 at the National
Liberal Club in London. As yet, we are unable to make any announcement
regarding speakers or subjects. However, bearing in mind the continuing
economic collapse, we have decided for a second year to keep the
conference fee at the old rate of ?85. So many of our friends have now
lost their jobs and are facing hard times in the year ahead, that we feel
obliged to dip further into our reserves to subsidise the conference. Do
stand by for more detailed announcements.
Eton College
On the 19th November 2008, I spoke about libertarianism to the Shelley
Society at Eton College. I had always thought of Eton as a place where
the boys were stuffed at night into cold and filthy dormitories and
flogged all day into learning how to write Greek iambics. It is actually
a most impressive place of learning. The boys were all polite, and they
asked me some very interesting questions. How so many members of our
ruling class emerged from here as thick as they are is a mystery.
Media Appearances
I have done about a dozen media appearances in the past month. Sadly, I
have only bothered to record two of them. This is most remiss of me, I
accept - indeed, which writing this, I was called by a Christian radio
station and asked to comment on the Government's further steps towards
banning tobacco. I made my comments without recording them. The recorded
appearances are:
My debate with Lord Levy on the 19th November 2008. This went out on BBC
Radio 4's PM programme and was heard by millions of people.

A comment on the Queen's Speech on Talk Sport Radio from the 3rd December
2008.

Negative Scanner Wanted
I have several thousand negatives from the Chris R. Tame collection of
photographs. I want to have these scanned in for upload to the Internet.
Is there anyone out there able and willing to lend me a good negative
scanner?
