It will be my very FIRST day that I actually put on the hat of the salesperson of my book facing the public. I am taking a day off from work to visit some independent book stores within zone 3 of London (I rarely ventured outside of zone 1) and ask them if they are willing to sell my book there. A special thank you to my executive assistant (good friend) Gary for compiling the list for me. 
What to expect?
Rolling out the Red carpet –Wishful thinking. Perhaps not straight away!
Showing me the door — Likely but I will insist on, at a minimum, leaving my business card behind.
Calling the police — Come on, the police got better things to do.
Flying shoes –As long as they are not flying daggers, I can handle it. It does not need to get violent, people.
Reluctantly accepting my pledge – The best result I can expect :>
Anyway, I will report my experience by tomorrow night. Please cross your fingers and squeeze your thumb for me (a German gesture for good luck)
