Luckily, we happened to have 35 copies of 'Ocean' kicking around and consequently were able to start slapping stickers on like crazy.
I love stickers. I wish publishers would put more on. And use stronger glue as well.
I peeled one off AN Wilson's Betjeman today. The publisher had slapped a large, red "Betjeman Centenary 2006" as if to say "Stop! Fickle customer! Buy this book during 2006, it's the centenary for god's sake. It'll be passed its sell-by-date next year"...
Bloody optimists!
ReplyDeleteWhen I opened the envelope and took out my 35, I immediately thought of you and your Richard and Judy Christmas window.
ReplyDeleteWe have a cut out Richard - but can't get him to stand up straight...
ReplyDeleteHe's kind of propped against our stuffed Judy, but with Santa and all those elves in there it looks more S & M than C & P.
PS Is it raining over where you are?
ReplyDeletePissing down here now!
