Bit of a bump. I've just heard from Paul (editor) with a bit more news of the book. He writes as follows:
Hi Annie,
I hope all is well with you. Just to complete the circle, I came across an advert today for Jake's gig for the Boilerhouse Project.
Our biography has been extraordinarily well-received. We had to do two reprints in hardback, and all 3000 copies have gone. The book got listed in the Telegraph's pick of the best music books of 2022. (I'm not sure what Jake would have made of that, given his politics!) We are publishing it in paperback on 6th February, with a fabulous new foreword by the comedian Jon Richardson, and an interview with Neil Gaiman.
Best wishes
Paul
Note. The reference to the Boilerhouse Project concerns a Great Idea some of us had back in the day that we could convert a local abandoned art deco boilerhouse into a repertory theatre. I actually got to write a performance piece for our collaborators - including Angharad Rees, Ruth Madoc, Kevin Whately, Alan Rickman and Siān Phillips - and Jake did fundraising gigs.

Reason: added explanatory note.
