Above all, I want to thank Jonathan that he spends his time to answer the questions that were asked during this discussion. Thank you VERY, VERY MUCH for your detailed, informative and nice answers - it's great!! In this manner, it was a great pleasure to glean all the questions and your replys

Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to join this reading group from the very first, what I regret SO much.
I started reading "Ptolomy's Gate" right now and recognized how much I've missed Bartimaeus and his dry, sarcastic comments - it's wonderful to be back in Bartimaeus's world! The characters have developped so believable and authentic - it's amazing. I've already read the first 150 pages and I'm looking forward to enjoy the whole book during the next days.

Very good job, Jonathan!
I've got a signed (German) copy of the first volume in the Bartimaeus-trilogy (I gave it to a friend who met you in Munich when you were there two years ago) - the tiny, funny demon you drew is really cute! Do you still draw it when you sign your Bartimaeus-books?

Best regards,
Valentino
