I've just bought it but will have to wait until this evening to have a read. Looking forward to it.

Downloaded kindle for iphone just over an hour ago so that I could read, good so far apart from having a shower I've done nothing but read it!

Perhaps a thread in books and literature would be appropriate too?

Will definitely be downloading this one.
Is the title or the author the pun? Both sides of the Force is Starwarsy of course.
Our V8s??
Pretty close, well done - Derek told me it was 'RV8' for Rover V8. biggrin

My father publishes his own books these days (much to the dismay of my mother when another truck turns up with hundreds of books in boxes). It doesn't cost him that much - if you wanted to explore this route I'd happily put you in touch with him.

For those of you who have read the book perhaps you should write a review on Amazon? It'd be nice to help a fellow PH'r who is held in such high regard.
Cracking idea to write a review on Amazon.

I also used a non-Kindle route, so please take advantage of a PM to Derek if you don't have a Kindle.

I don't often venture in to SP&L (despite it being the reason I joined PH many years ago!), but I'm glad I popped in today.

Amazon one-clicked on to my iPad. Looking forward to this!

Sits back snugly, having read this, courtesy of Derek, last year.

Thanks, guys.

I'd be pathetically grateful for any feedback, including criticisms and ideas. Comments on Amazon helps sales of course.

No stalkers though. I remember what happened to J. K. Rowling.

I've been saying for ages that you should write a book Derek!

You should've bloody we'll told me you had! smile

Your tales have had me in stitches a few times, I'll be buying it too! At this rate you'll soon be able to retire. Oh...

I'd like to buy Derek's book.

Unfortunately, I am not young and I do not have a Kindle. It is extremely unlikely that I will ever own a Kindle.

Why can't I buy a PDF version?

No need, all you need is an amazon account and the Kindle for PC (Or Mac!) Application. If you've got an Android Phone, there's an app for that, and there may even be an app for iPhones as well...
