Game Over was very enjoyable reading, with one persistent and galling exception. What on earth possessed you to rename the old Royal Infirmary redevelopment as something so frightful? I haven’t lived in Edinburgh for many years but even so….
As you say, you haven’t lived in Edinburgh for many years. I had a couple of reasons for calling the complex something other than Quartermile; King Robert Village seemed to me to be quite a reasonable alternative, and it still does. It has a ring to it, a touch of imagination. If you can suggest something different maybe we can change it at a reprint. I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of the book.
