A week ago, Ian and Henry were on their way to The British Book Awards annual ceremony at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Their first book had been nominated in the Non-Fiction Lifestyle category.
They hired tuxedos and went along more in hope than expectation... but damn me - they won it! And here they are being interviewed straight after the ceremony for The British Booksellers' website:-
That happy evening, "Bosh!" also won a second award for their marketing campaign.
"The British Book Awards" are undoubtedly this country's top annual book awards and I cannot tell you just how proud and delighted I am with Ian's continuing success. The "Bosh!" story goes on.
Brilliant. Well done boys!
ReplyDeleteDoes that include this proud blogger?
DeleteHey! This is wonderful, wonderful news! Great achievement...well-deserved, lads! Congratulations...sincere congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to bask in the reflected glory.
DeleteSincere congratulations to Ian and Henry, and, by extension, to your awesome self as well. This turns out to be a "six degrees of separation" moment as on my return from that famous trip to Sweden in 1969 I spent one, count it, one night in London on the way back to the U.S. and I stayed at a hotel on Grosvenor Square, very near the American Embassy.
ReplyDeleteWas it called The Espionage Hotel?
DeleteOh my goodness! This is just amazing and I doubt you could be much prouder, Mr. P.! Not only are your boy and his co-author garnering awards and getting good sales, they are also helping the planet with a more sustainable diet.
ReplyDeleteJust...wonderful!
At first I thought that vegan recipes would be too niche but I was wrong. They caught a wave.
DeleteCongratulations to Bosh! The boys done good.
ReplyDeleteThey did done good. (Is that English?)

DeleteO wow. That's amazing. You must be so proud of him.
ReplyDeleteMy head is so big that passing through doorways is a squeeze.
DeleteWonderful! Congratulations to the Bosh Boys and to the proud Dad as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie.
DeleteTheir accomplishments are nothing short of amazing, and to me their hard work and the very worthwhile nature of their work make it even more so. They must be having a blast, and well they should. Hope it continues for them! You and your wife and the other set of parents must be so pleased.
ReplyDeleteYou have summed it all up pretty well Jenny. Maybe one day it will all end but for now we will keep on enjoying the trip.
DeleteHow wonderful! I can feel your pride all the over here! The boys have done well for themselves. May their star keep shining brighter!
ReplyDeleteYour good wishes are precious to me Jennifer.
DeleteI am so thrilled for all of you.....and when I see the book in Smiths ( half price) or Waitrose( book of the month) I always think...... I " know" his Dad and I feel proud too!
ReplyDeleteUsually our connections with bestselling books is very distant. Ian is just two steps from you Frances.
DeleteHow exciting! Congrats to Ian!
