Crazy

I must be. Otherwise I wouldn't do this. Propose a transaction so financially disadvantageous to myself. No, don't thank me. The inner glow of self-satisfaction is my only reward.
 Dolores has encouraged my philanthropy: "Ronald, if you don't move those stupid books I'll throw them in the bin." "Share your erudition with world" that's what she meant, wasn't it?

I'm going to make you an offer. One you could refuse. If you were crazy. Because it's hugely to your financial advantage. While stocks last. I'll be doing a book for a beer at the ZBF.

Just say the codeword "Can I buy you a beer, Ron?"and one of my shiny, numbered, limited-edition books will be yours. After I've got the beer in my hand. I'm not stupid. Just crazy.

    Are you on paypal? I have a delicate situation over here where I need a screamingly good prize for the Xmas photo contest because someone has apparently had the gall to reneged on a pledge to give a prize. I think we may come to a satisfactory answer to our mutual benefit that clear up a bit of each of our problems.

    Ron, your wife should meet my wife, I think they'd find they have a lot in common …

    Ron,
    Is it possible to send a parcel of baltic porter, vienna lager and weizen for a book "War"?
