Signing session with bestselling author, James Bowen, The Little Book of Bob.

James found Bob the cat when they were both living on the streets and his companionship has helped him pull his life around. That was 10 years ago and in that time they have become bestselling authors, adored around the world and have had a film made about their life. The Little Book Of Bob is everything James has learnt from his beloved cat over the years. Lessons on friendship, boundaries, happiness and responsibility.

Through all of this Bob has remained the same.  An unwavering, zen-like presence, whether he’s sat on the bus or giving high-fives on television’s ‘This Morning’.  Like many animal lovers, James has come to rely on his cat as not just his pet but as a friend and as a source of wisdom.

No ticket will be necessary to attend but Waterstones anticipate that this event will be extremely busy so would suggest arriving early to avoid disappointment, especially as James will only be able to personalise (with fan names) the first 200 books.

James will sign a maximum of two books for each customer.  Waterstones regret that no flash photography can be permitted as this may cause distress to Bob and ask that fans refrain from trying to touch Bob as well.
