The best comparison I can make is to describe Alan Coren as the British James Thurber, says Peter of Alan Coren – whose wonderful and sadly posthumous collection of essays Chocolate and Cuckoo Clocks: The Essential Alan Coren is published today.  In today’s Write Report, Donna brings news that the iPhone is gaining stealthily on the Kindle in sales terms, and may yet prove to be the de facto e-book reader of choice.  Also – has the real Professor Dumbldore been identified?  It’s not me! denies the hapless victim.  In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she reveals an online treasure trove of goodies within the National Archives digital vaults – photographs, letters and government documents… a cornucopia for conspiracy theorists and, maybe, for writers in search of plotlines.
