@boydellandbrewer.bsky.social Just received the latest volume of Beethoven Conversation Books. Very disappointed with the cheap binding. No longer looks like a set and diminishes pride in ownership. Why do this to save a few cents? I'd have paid more yo maintain quality and uniformity.

Today's my birthday. Unimportant. But I discovered recently that I share it with the world premiere of the 1st of Beethoven's 5 late string quartets, his Op127. And today is its 200th anniversary. Those huge opening chords usher in music that I live with constantly. Guess what I'm listening to!

A lovely email about GoaT: "A mutual friend gave me your book. It is wonderful. I have just ordered copies for our head of governance and CEO.   "Our MAT has 11 schools each with their own LGB and ideally I would like to give each governor as well as our Trustees a copy of the book."

Here's the most recent review of 'How to be a great GoaT - a guide to being a brilliant Governor or a Trustee'. It's an ideal stocking-filler for the GoaT(s) in your life! And if your school or trust wants to say a seasonal 'thanks' to your volunteers, what could be better? #ukedgovs
