GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS IN FULL COLOUR!!! A NEW MOUSE OF COMMONS PHOTO BOOK!!!

Hi,

Just to announce that there is already a new Mouse of Commons book out on www.Lulu.com called GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS IN FULL COLOUR which you can read more about http://www.lulu.com/content/4051212

Details below:

GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS IN FULL COLOUR is a book of photography; compiling all the best photos used in three Mouse of Commons novels: GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE BEARGRRRIAN DILEMMA, GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS THROWS IT ALL AWAY and THE FURTHER SQUEAKS OF GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS. The majority of these photos were taken by Paul Chandler; all over Europe between 2006 and 2008. The book is 170 pages long and is printed in full colour (as the title suggests) and is available in paperback for £19.99. A hardback edition will follow soon.

If you take a look at the link you should also see some sample pages.

Coming soon: A collection of Mouse of Commons novellas - GOSSIP FROM THE CHEESE COUNTER. Due Mid-November.

Hope all is well. If you've not seen the book launch photos then please check the previous post or click on: http://mouseofcommons.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-and-second-book-launches-of-2008.html

Best wishes!

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOK LAUNCHES OF 2008

Well! It happened - on the 5th and 6th September 2008, I finally had the launch parties at the Fitzroy Tavern, London for my most recent 3 poetry books: the new collection - SHY YETI'S INCREDIBLE PIE-CRUST COLLECTION, WOOED AWAKENINGS and WOOED-ER AWAKENINGS as well as, most importantly for this site - the two new Mouse books: GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS THROWS IT ALL AWAY and THE FURTHER SQUEAKS OF GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS.

Thanks to everyone who came along and all those who sent messages of apology for not being able to make it. Thanks also to all of you who bought copies of the books and the cool comments I've had back from you already about the ones you bought.

The next book launch will be to celebrate the launch of GOSSIP FROM THE CHEESE COUNTER and also to belatedly go for drinks for my birthday. At the moment I'm setting it for around 14th/15th November - more details when I have them. :)

The photos relating to the new poetry collections can be found on www.thedaffypoet.blogspot.com

Further photos can be found on my Facebook Fan Page at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=69018&l =0d6d3&id=650936342

On the friday we moved on to the Vauxhall Tavern - so the photos are taken in both venues. Enjoy them and thanks again to everyone for coming along. :)
