<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It's definitely on the shelves. At London,
Southbank, I spotted it under 'K' at the RFH bookshop and under 'T' at the BFI
bookshop (where members can get 20% discount). Surely the marketing guys
missed a trick by not getting 'Beat' on the spine and getting a third pile
on the shelves?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Incidentally, the London film festival programme is up at
the BFI site.</FONT></DIV>
