Hello folks, Mark, Stay here. It’s January 6th and the UK has gone into lockdown for the third time, third time’s a charm and that means all bookshops are closed. So if you want to buy books… In particular, if you’re going to buy this book. Where can you go? Now, uh…
All sorts of options. All sorts of options. Number one, I would suggest you go to Coles Bookshop in Bicester because they’re selling signed copies of the book with a free signed art print, signed by myself and the artist Harry Goldhawk. Look at that. Marvellous. Look at it. Ooh. That’s port of call number one.
If you’re a if you’re a Waterstones fan or if you never used Waterstones before, try them because they have a wonderful thing. Every time you buy – spend ten pounds – you get a stamp and if you buy books as much as I do, then in no time at all. You get a free book or ten pounds credit. Fantastic. So get it from Waterstones.
If you live overseas, well, The best place… When I say overseas, outside the UK, obviously go to The Book Depository. They have free postage and packing worldwide, which is a wonderful thing. And very often you get free bookmark. Not my bookmark, but you know, a bookmark. Just get it for the bookmark. And then apparently there’s some online start up called Ammaz? Amzz? It’ll come to me… Anyway you can… Look it up online. Just Google it. But, yeah, if you’re working in a bookshop, and they’re on furlough now and, you know, help them support them as much as you can. We’re going to need them more than ever.
We interrupt this video to bring you an update on behalf of UK bookshops. Many still operate on a click and collect or mail order basis during lockdown. And we’ll be able to get you all the books you can eat. Also, check the Hive and UK.Bookshop.org, an easy way to shop online and support local bookshops. You’ll find links to these below. Now back to your regular broadcast from somewhere in Kent
So yeah. I put some links for all this gubbins below. Where you can get not just my book… They do all sorts of books, but yes, support your local bookshops. And, you know, if you can’t get out much, use Amazon. I know it’s fashionable to hate them, but, you know, if you are housebound or whatever, they’re bloody good at what they do. So, yes, anyway, Oh here we go… Out of the woods. It’s a metaphor for something, innit What a wonderful day to go for a walk. Happy reading. See you again soon.
