Shh. My 9 year old son thinks Lee has just written to him. Had a flick through the book and it looks great. A lot of positive comments from my fb friends who got a copy too. Looking forward to reading it.

Well done to all involved.

Not sure if there are copies "for sale" as it was crowd funded (see the first post in this thread) and you pledged a given amount towards it so there might only have been that many copies printed. Ian Fitz will know for sure.

Meeting the second stretch target means we funded an extra large print run. It'll be for sale in the next few weeks. After original backers have their copies.

I'll post on here when we are sorted for sales.

My copy was here when we got home.

Despite having debated it endlessly, answered hundreds of emails, done days-worth of various behind the scenes tasks, looked over 13 PDFs versions, it looks amazing!

My copy has arrived, well done Ian and all on a lovely bit of production. The only downside is that 2 of my pledges somehow got in. I thought I had changed one of them but it now looks like I'm committed to completing the loop.

I had to pay extra to make sure that one was kept in for you. :grin:

Ah, yes. A terrible oversight on my part there Dave. I really can't begin to imagine how they both stayed in...

I read my copy in it's entirety last weekend, sat in front of the stove in a hostel, having done a paltry 45 mile ride in the Cairngorms. I'd saved the the book specially to make sure it had the reading experience it deserved!

I have no plans on reading the other book - it sucks the life and soul out of you!
