As well as being the last day of the Edinburgh Festival, today is also the last of our live outside broadcasts...
Luckily, it was a lovely, warm day at Charlotte Square where book-lovers and authors could enjoy the sunshine while the Book Cafe broadcast live right beside them. Today's guests were , and . Crime novelist Antonia Fraser discussed her memoir 'Must You Go?' about her life with husband , while Simon Van Booy read from his book of short stories. Alexander McCall Smith has already written four new novels this year alone and doesn't seem to show any signs of letting up. He was also part of five events at the this year - definitely an author that doesn't shy away from meeting his readers. He told presenter Clare English what motivates him to keep going.
