It seems to me at the moment most of the publishers are aiming for 0 to 3. Thank you for this informatiove blog.

Unfortunately I bought it on the kindle which meant I couldn't get Dave to sign it. I may buy it again just to get that signature.

Having said that my to-read pile is towering. Haven't read some of the most acclaimed books of 2012 yet and have been putting off reading some books by friends until after I finish my own book! Something to look forward to!
