I got it off of Amazon, should come tomorrow.

[gbm]

Sadly I havent got it yet and I am dissapointed in 'the system' as I went to too many places trying to find the book, asda, sainsbury's and a HUGE Tesco, none of which had it, i think I have to go to ... dare I say it, a book shop, so much for me getting it cheaply

Got mine today £8.49 from Borders

Just one thing what do the random numbers at the side mean ?

[Mafro]

ISBN number?

[Eddie]

They are the page numbers you numpty. You read them down from top to bottom i.e. page 28 9 would look like this...

Or something similar.... I can't believe you had to ask!

[Haroldinium]

[asy1mpo]

Just tried to buy book in Tesco

It was something like £9.97

It was in position 9 I think BUT sold out.

D'oh

I dont think I will go to a book signing - although would be great to see Chris not paying £7 more! and chances are I will get there too late. (and not be able to take time off work)

My b@st@rd book still hasn't arrived, amazons snail mail is a testing service, anymore delays on this book and I'll be wrapping the packaging round the postie when it finally does arrive.

[aquadite]

I ordered mines form Amazon on Saturday and it arrived this morning. I was in WH Smith today and it was completely sold out.

[glennjpeace]

i was in my local town centre and i was lookin in all the shops...the Gospel is SOLD OUT!! Chris must be making one hell of a packet out of this!

[gbm]

Now I wish I had of pre-ordered it, silly me thinking that it would be cheaper and quicker to get it from normal shop, oh well, if I dont get it, its going on the christmas list

[Nicky]

Almost finished reading it... Bloody good, so far. I couldn't help but read the book kinda from the view-point of the "on air" persona, until I read got to the bit where he got fired from Pulse (?) and "cried his * eyes out". I guess through only really hearing him banter and joke about on-air, you almost get the feeling that you're listening to an actor in a show, if that makes sense. Hard to explain what I mean, but when I read that bit, it hit home a bit more about the fact he's as human as the rest of us, and made me apprieciate the book more.

I know Chris's ego will make him continually read this thread to see what we think of it, so congratulations, you've done well with it.

you know out of all the things to make and sell, a book isnt the best. aparently they dont make much money per book... but if its sold out everywere...

[Boboff]

I hear crack is better

[Jimmy_Lemon]

I recon he gets maybe £4-£5 from each full price book sold.

[Haroldinium]

you know, i doubt its anywere near that high

[Boboff]

crack... high.... you better believe it baby.

The royalty is £2.60 per book, and does not change whatever price it is reatiled at, so the Tesco discount sales make as much for fat ass, as waterstones £17 ones, he always gets the same it's the retailers who change margins.

check the times out and you can get in the top ten hard back with > 2000 books, strange but not big money, the money really is not important, enjoy the book, or wait till it comes out in paperback.

Will you guys stop worrying how much he earns and enjoy it or not.

Money is the Root of all evil.

[Boboff]

Look at the thread title ?

Do you like the book ?

Just got the last copy at Tesco £9.97, along with the new Grisham. Excellent stuff.

[Johnny 1989]

If you havent got the book yet it's only £8.49 in Borders (well it was in the Oxford Street branch in London) but they only had about 11 copies lefton Sunday, they might have all sold out by now

[Ballbag]

Ok... I'll make the 200 odd mile trip down from up north..... get them to save me a copy.

Oh, and thanks for the tip, otherwise I didn't know at all how I was going to get a copy.

Phew!!!!!!!!!
