Timing seems curious as a new softcover collection only went on sale this week. I once found myself sitting in a resturant at a table next to Andrew Lincon. He was dining alone. It was literally just before TWD debuted and I remember thinking "you could be about to become a global star". <br /><br />The usual flurry of STAR WARS tie-in books hit yesterday. I limited myself to the "art of" book and the magazine. I really enjoyed the film itself.
