[edit] Neutrality and copyright problems

The content of this article is clearly derived from [1], and was probably a verbatim copy of the page as it existed when it was first put on Wikipedia. The IP address which uploaded it to Wikipedia is from edbookfest.co.uk, so it's reasonable to assume this was done by the Book Festival itself, but this still needs resolving as per WP:COPYREQ.

However, the text is also very salesy. It would be a lot better to rewrite the article (preserving individual edits made since then where possible), rather than just to get permission to use the current text. I'm happy to have a stab at this. However - though I know a great deal about the Edinburgh Festival in general - I'm not an expert on the Book Festival specifically, so I'll wait a little while to see whether anyone more qualified wants to step up first.
