Lowside giveaway closed

Exactly 477 of you entered The Lowside of the road - a life of Tom Waits giveaway. The lucky winner is Carsten from Germany and he should receive his copy shortly. Better luck to all the others next time.

Barney Hoskyns will be reading from – and signing copies of – his book in Waterstone's in London on March 4th (82 Gower Street, London, WC1E 6EQ, 6.30 pm) and The Bluecoat in Liverpool on March 12th (School Lane, Liverpool L1 3BX, 7.30 pm).

For those of you who are wondering what all the fuss is about, the Sunday Times has a review by Robert Sandall.
