Penguin's Rugby warehouse, its teething problems of six years ago a distant memory, has shipped its half-billionth unit. The distributor designated a copy of J D Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye as the one to mark the achievement, and delivered it to Foyles in Charing Cross Road.

Bartram said: "Frank was a fizzing, living, breathing Bob and I'd be delighted to have him guide me around the Moon. The show was a joy."
