Quite a few journalists did stop in their tracks… The Metro daily free newspaper (circ. 1,348,000) ran a long story about Benny and his book, magazines such as High Life (BA Inflight, circ. 195,000), Wanderlust (circ. 37,500), Stuff (circ. 62,000), E&T (Engineering & Technology magazine, circ. 141K worldwide) and Sainsbury’s magazine (circ. 227,000), all covered the book/ interviewed the author.
