I hope those who snapped up a copy at West Chester are enjoying it.
No one snapped up a copy at West Chester actually, Ed. (Shall I tell them why, John? ... John?)

Oh, I'll just tell you alll anyway! Well, my mate John sent a big bundle of his books to me - but he put my name on the parcel and his niece's address! John's niece lives about 70 miles away from me, but very close to where my brother lives, so I asked my brother if he could go and pick them up for me. He would have done, except the young lady had gone away for a few days; by her return I was already en route for WC - sans books!

So there you have it. Or don't have it, to be more accurate.

Never mind, all those signed copies will be sent out soon to anyone who'd like one. They'll be well (Whit)worth waiting for!

I have a rare unsigned copy of Whitworth's book.
It's genuinely funny, finely-crafted and a delight to read.
There are so many poetry books out at the moment, but you should buy this one.

OK, so if you want this masterpiece here's what you do?

Step 1. You send me a private message with your address
Step 2. I reply, giving you my email address.
Step 3. You pay $20 into my Paypal account.
Step 4. I send you the book, post free.

Wow!

Never give up on a free copy, Orwn. I'll send you won (another bribe) and if you get one from Angle you can give it away to someone deserving.
