    Oh heck - I am embarressed now!:eek:
    Requests for the book have exceeded my wildest expectations and all the stock I had ready has gone in a few hours!:eek:
    I am afraid that I am going to be away for a few days and will not be able to get more printed off all that quickly:eek:
    Can I ask that people are patient and I will get books out ASAP:eek:
    My thanks for your understanding!

    OK! OK! ...already, enough!
    I will sign all of them in future, then only the unsigned ones will earn you a fortune on the bay of evil, IF you ever think of selling them!:D :rolleyes: :cool:
    I will get books out to all who have PMed me - and any others who order them in future


    But

    It will take time ........to keep costs down they are individually printed off by my wife at the place she works...when she can get machine time;)
    Although I got a small stock together before I advertised them you greedy beggars bought them all in seconds!
    I did not realise how big the demand would be:eek:
    I will get round to you all in turn:)
    Thanks for your understanding
    John
