Thank you!
We are two-thirds of our way through sending out advance, review and complimentary copies all over the world, and have received many plaudits for the appearance and even ‘beauty’ of the book, as well as overwhelming approval of the in-text images. Thank you all no end, and also for the numerous literary comments early readers have made! Obviously, I will marshal both positive and critical responses in a future post.
Meanwhile, I am also fantastically grateful to those followers who within a fortnight have bought 31 copies of the book at the pre-publication price of £30 including postage. This suggests we will meet our target for such sales before the official publication date of 7 September. Until 6 September you will still be able to buy copies at the reduced price from me direct, but after that sales will be managed through http://samandsam.co.uk/.
Back to packing…
