Sadly I won't be there but I can tell you the book's a cracker.

Thanks for that Mark.
I've just ordered a copy directly from the publishers: https://www.1889books.co.uk/stick-float-wizardry
A pre-publication price, a lot cheaper than the price quoted from Amazon etc. if anyone is intending to buy a copy.

If this is anywhere near as good as the waggler book it is a ‘must have’.

Different Jim Baxter; this one fished for the famous Barnsley Blacks.

Was he the editor of the "Sheffield Star" ? - from what I can remember a monthly publication

Yes. He also edited Coarse Angler.

What a great looking book, definitely going to order this for some bedtime horlicks sessions. The first of its kind too, Never seen a book dedicated to trotting before which is insane

I'm not sure it can be described as a book on 'trotting' but certainly of interest to the river float angler.
