Thanks for responding - I had just about given up!

I was in Dublin recently, and saw a follow-up book by, I think, Hugo
Arnold again with a similar name. I'd not heard of Wagamama before, but
the distinctive name stayed with me. The book looks interesting, and I
will check it out - and the Bruce Cost one too.

Thanks,

Ian
