Peaked...

We've had some great book presentations already in our Madrid bookshop - but Monday's event probably surpassed them all. Guillem Balague, the Sky Sports presenter and As columnist, was in town to promote his authorised book on Messi. Although OffSide Books helped to organise this, the actual presentation was held in the CloverHouse pub, in northern Madrid, who provided superb hospitality.
I believe that if you ask anyone who attended, they'll honestly tell you it was an amazing event. Guillem really knows his subject, and switched effortlessly between English and Spanish. Moreover, he stayed around for hours after the actual presentation, to chat with the guests. It's a cliche, but if you're in Madrid yet failed to come to this event, you missed out big-time. I can't wait now for his next book (I'm currently reading the English version of "Messi"); he told us on the night what the next subject will be. But that, I'm afraid, will be our little secret! ;)
