That cunning GB chap knew we were all suckers for this kind of stuff when he started the advertising thread - whats his cut?
What's the cut of people who contributed;)Quote:

Are you talking financially or the "cut of one's gib"?Quote:

Do you really want to be the last person in your club to have your own copy?
Last?? I'd probably the first and last in my club to own a copy! :rolleyes:Quote:

As a return for buying the book, mountain rescue gave me two plasters on sunday.:D
I'm not sure that buying the book should get you preferential treatment by Mountain Rescue when you wander off course and graze your knees on a fell race :pQuote:

I understand sales are approaching 200 copies and it hasn't even been reviewed yet in The Fellrunner,Trail etc.
Got mine quite quickly. However I believe that this online publisher doesn't print large runs but more prints to order. This is how they can afford to take on low volume publications such as this.Quote:

It's looking rather beaten up already though :eek:
Very appropriate surely, given the subject matter.Quote:
