Book on hold

[Stores]

Got a reply from the publishers yesterday -

\"Dear Mr Storey,
We would love to publish your book blah de blah, please send us a cheque for £9,000........... or £7,000 if you want it in paperback. That means I need to sell 2000 books to get my money back. Can I have a show of hands before I jump in with both feet?

Being realistic I will now choose the print to order option which is \"only\" £1300. Spent last night copying the chapters to one document then trying to convert it to a new pdf file, then trying to get the computer to accept that THERE WAS a CD in the bloody D drive ............then I bought a bottle of Grouse and turned it all off.

Will update you on the horrors of Great Wyrley tomorrow.

£4:50 for hardback £3:50 for paperback or 65p if you print to order

Count me in for a couple. Hope you can pull it off. I feel sure that there are many like me who would buy the book. I seem to spent time looking for books with good local knowlage but never can find any.

[TC]

I suppose it depends on where you class as \"local\" EDO, but if you\'re talkin\' of between North of the Tyne and Eyemouth......there\'s more local knowledge in the book than you can \"shake a stick at\".....as the saying goes.
