I've been in touch with Sky, the webmaster at the Gemmell fansite,
'Legend Readers' & he's agreed to ask the fans over there, their favourite Gemmell quotations so that we can incorporate them into t-shirts designs for the shop. Take a look over there to see what's being suggested so far, and also for further dedicated Gemmell discussion!
