I know the release date was 31st of May but Waterstones in Hull had them on sale last week! Just finished it yesterday, brilliant! Any chance of the 3rd when getting done sometime soon, say next week?  I also posted the first review on amazon!

As i thought it would...the first copies of the CE edition are up on ebay, between £80 & £90....mostof the main buyers of scarrow from enay i have contacted and pointed at the scarrow shop so i think these guys cashing in may fall flat.....

Hi guys, i'm not surprised that they have appeared on Ebay some people purchased multiple copies.
I finished it on holiday, and putting it simply, bloody good read! couldn't put it down till finished. I know it may sound like fanboy talk as I work with Simon on the shop, but it is a really good read! flows really well and left me wanting more! I will definitely be looking out for the recommended reads from Simon's Authors note. I want to find out more about these men!

Haven't started on mine yet. My supervisor wants another three pages out of me (that's another 1500 words!)by the end of the week on my MPhil essay about what I intend to do for the next 12-18 months. Bugger all if I could help it.......that's 7 words. :-(

It arrived on Tuesday morning. Packaging absolutely fine. I must admit I was horrified to open the box and find you hadn't loving wrapped the book in bubble wrap and tissue paper. What would have happened if......but it didn't, and the book and enclosures are fine.

yeah I'm going to start doing bubble wrap, but that adds weight and will mean the postage will go up, as it pushes it over the current P&P charge.
It's all early days so any feedback is good to ensure nothing goes wrong.
I did get Simon to seal yours with a kiss if that helps

yeah, you've seen the packaging that I'm using mate, I guess some nice tissue paper will suffice, or thin bubblewrap, my only concern is a found some folded in the wrong place and the book slid a little, I did fix those, but it was a concern.....it will all be fine.
I presume you got all yours eh parm?
I see some of them have appeared on Ebay already - minus the short story strangely enough.

Good, always a relief as without the Ebay-esque feedback system, I dont know if they arrive fine or not.
