There's one section of my bookshelves reserved for books written in whole or perhaps in part by people I know. It's highly eclectic: novels and anthologies; a frisky take on a culinary delight called A Passion for Asparagus; two minutely researched books on travelling post offices in South America; an adventure travel guide to Provence and a short (mostly sad) history of Manchester City. There used to be something called the Bank Marketing Handbook but I canned that some time ago. Can't think why.

But now the game moves on. Now I have a friend who's written (built? produced? devised?) an app. Called London Shophound, it's a shopping guide to ...well, work it out. It's for people who, having bought an iPhone, want to use it to buy lots of other things. It was only published (released? uploaded?) a few days ago and already it's bouncing around Google, appearing in Japanese travel listings, putting itself about.

See the difference? The books are on the shelf. The app is out there hustling.
