I'd love to hear his perspective on our books. His European voice would definitely be a unique one. And hopefully he'll be able to visit sometime soon. That's a great idea, Patrick.

It is just because someone asks. Not for guilt. Not for a personal search. Just because they were welcomed by someone they knew. Tell you friend that not only is he welcome but that you and your friends would love to show him around the studio. Go one further - you send out early book copies for review sometimes - ask him to review one you worked on (or at least, a chapter). He'll feel valued and you might just get him to read some good stuff along the way. He might even have some good suggestions from a different point of view.
