From Chris Harris
“Would you rush to the bookstore to have a book signed by a robot?” asks Gizmo (11 March, p 25). I still treasure my copy of Tim Hunkin’s book Absolutely Everything There Is To Know, which I was given for my birthday many years ago. It is signed by a robot that was constructed by the author to take the drudgery out of book-signing sessions. The result isn’t perfect, but it’s more legible than many signatures I’ve seen.
Just to be on the safe side, my friends got the book signed by the author as well – and it’s dated 1988. Do encourage Margaret Atwood to persevere with her robot.
