I emailed you about 6 months back copping to having gotten the Laundry series via a torrent and offering you money. You very politely suggested that instead I buy the books and give them to my local library.

I thought it was just about the classiest thing any writer had every said. And they really appreciated getting the books.

EDIT: Saw above, my apologies for re-asking.

Total cost?

I ask as my wife and I would really like to take 2016 off for travel, but we've got zero idea about associated costs...

Hi, hope I’m not too late. I was in Cape Town in 2016 and was stunned by the level of private security, along with the road signage near townships that basically says ‘we the government don’t trust these people’. At the time I remember thinking ‘it’s not like they’re going to rampage down the freeways into the central business district’. Has the water crisis shifted or amplified this level of unease?
