I've already told you about the red mist that descended during the 30-second sequence on the history of Porter in the Oz Clarke/James May series. Today I've done something to calm my anger. I've sent a book to Oz Clarke.Not just any book, but "Brown Beer". The best book ever written about Porter and Stout. (That's what I would have put on the cover. Except it's a quote from myself.) Ten shiny, new copies arrived yesterday. I've already started packing them up and shipping them out.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to buy a copy for yourself just yet. Not until I've posted out all the freebies. You'' have to wait a few weeks. Maybe you could pass away that time with another of my excellent efforst, the slightly misleadingly-titled "Decoction!". (It's selling very well. Almost into double figures.) I've even corrected the deliberate mistake.
That reminds me. I must start getting the next volume in my Mini Book Series ready for publication: "War!". Any guesses as to its subject?
"I've even corrected the deliberate mistake."
ReplyDeleteDoes that make my copy more valuable? Looking forward to Brown. Quite the catchy title.
The cuts in OG imposed by the British Government in WWI by any chance?
ReplyDeleteI did suggest you blog to him after the filming in dubbin.
ReplyDeleteOoops! I think you sent a copy to the wrong baldy git, but thanks anyway. It looks great too -- meaty stuff. Nearly a tome, in this librarian's profesional opinion.
ReplyDeleteBeer Nut, I don't make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteReally? 'Cos on page 56 it says...
ReplyDeleteNah, only joking. Cheers mate.
