Thanks for that, Jim. And thanks for the kind words. Yes, you have one of the few current Stateside copies, but I am hoping that a few others will reach their destination shortly, if they haven't already.
I'm not sure how Harry at the good old Bridge Bookshop would cope with US orders, but I'm happy to accommodate, via PM, anyone else, Stateside or not, who would like to take a dip into what I call the Deep South of the Kingdom of the Isles (currently dormant).
Most of the poems have made some sort of early appearance here over the years, so they have a lot of godparents (of sorts) - and hardly any wicked ones. And, I think, they benefit from being brought together like this, being all much of a Manxness.
It has a very nice glossy cover too, if I say so myself. Mrs C and I put a lot of thought into that, and the illustrator has done a great job.
So thanks again, Jim, and (of course) cheers - lhiats, in fact.
David
