On the eve of the London International Book Fair New York agent Daniel Greenberg  (left) has closed a great deal with John Parsley at Little Brown (US) for Danny Wallace’s heartwarming book ‘Friends Like These’. John said of Danny’s account of his quest to Film4/track down his key childhood friends, ‘I’ve fallen for the book, which I can’t stop talking about and which I found funny, original, and compelling’. He will publish next year and Ebury will bring out their edition this Summer. Ruby Films/Film4/Miramax have already acquired the film rights and the book is selling rapidly in translation with more deals in the offing during the book fair. Jessica Craig is the contact on that front.
