Here is what I believe to be the first side view of the newly printed biography:
Weighing in at 2 lbs 2 oz (544 pages)
This is the heaviest book in every sense that I shall ever write…
Pre-publication orders continue to flow in from loyal followers of this blog, for which RENEWED PROFOUND THANKS!
Just a reminder: copies at nearly 10% discount can be bought before 7 September by contacting me direct through mail@patrickmiles.co.uk
If you wish to buy more than one copy, for example as future Christmas presents, naturally you can until 6 September inclusive at the discounted price of £30 including postage.
Another thing I should have mentioned is that I am very happy to sign these copies or write in them whatever you would like for you or their recipients.
We shall finish sending out all advance copies by 13 July, then we shall concentrate on the ‘launch’ — if the publishers can afford one!
A punt on the Cam rather than a launch?
What a good idea, Graeme! Thank you! We shall not trail our hands in the water, however, because of the monster pike… At the moment, I am tackling Topping’s at Ely, as I have talks lined up for Cambridge, Oxford, St Andrews (and Eastcote?) nearer the actual anniversary, 2 December.
