    Hi Eddie
    You hyperlink doesn't work as you have the beginning of the next sentence in it. Good luck with the book though.

    Congrats Eddie, well done? How is the greyhound derby going - is your 50/1 dog (believe I put $10 each way) from last year still in the mix?

    Well done Eddie. I have a vague idea of what is involved as my efforts ground to a halt sometime ago. I hope it is successful for you.

    It had better be mate, I've just bought it for my kindle. ;)

    Having spoken to Gramps on the QPR report site about this, ensure you get your money promptly for this, they were very slow paying him.

    Well done Eddie. Writing, completing and getting a book published is no mean feat. I sometimes find it difficult to just construct a sensible post on here.
    I'll look forward to purchasing and reading your book.

    Well done Eddie, another one of our increasingly multi-talented forum, QPR is definitely a cut above with it's supporters...

    Hi Eddie, Would love to read your book. Is it at all possible to get a signed copy?

    Beaten Track Publishing is a bit excessive on the shipping cost to the colonies, but I see your book is also listed on Amazon.ca over here.

    Yeah you can get it anywhere outside the uk, just as long
    As it's from beatentrack! An american company called trafford
    Publishing is ripping me off selling the book in the USA and Canada!

    Hi Eddie - Thanks, how about author signed copies? So here in Canada, does Amazon.ca have the "Beaten Track Publishing" or "Trafford Publishing" version?

    In the early 1970's I worked for Seismograph Service Limited who were based just outside Bromley in a huge country mansion. I worked overseas but used to stay in Bromley when reporting to HQ, training etc.

    How about your greyhound derby 50/1 suggestions from last year - are they still in the running?

    I need another Blonde Snapper!

    Well done Eddie.
    Amazon do take a big cut though. They only pay me £6 out of £15 for my book.
    Do you have copies in London? I will get one from you if so.
    Since QPR fans include quite a few writers and artists I wonder if there is any mileage in the club shop stocking books by supporters to complement the usual dross they sell. After all we have the most intelligent fan base in the country..

    I just bought your book off Amazon.ca - C$16.33 free shipping as I also ordered some BBQ heat plates that I required (4 of them) that were actually $10 a unit cheaper than Amazon.com (US) - usually it's the other way round.

    Looking forward to a good read later this summer.

    That's a good idea Rebel, perhaps Roller might mention it to them at the next supporters meeting with the club hierarchy...
