Tough Crowd, due out 12 October. I’m delighted to see this. He is such a good writer and has sacrificed so much in defence of women’s rights and reality itself. Hope it’s a smash hit.

Is there any chance of Waterstones stocking this, or putting it on display if they do? It's very childish of me, but I'm looking forward to the fuss.

I'm going to ask my local library to stock it as well. I'm in the mood to make a fuss.

Did The IT Crowd and Father Ted ever get taken off TV? Was watching them on E4 last night wondering if they had ever been unavailable at any point?

I've definitely seen recent repeats of Father Ted on a Freeview channel, and they always have it on at Christmas. The Christmas Eve episode (lost in the Dublin lingerie department) is a calendar highlight.

I really want there to be colour pictures of the women like Hayden in the book.

He wont be " allowed' on any chat show to promote this. Did you see the excerpt on mail online
Marriage crumbled with the threats from these lunatics

I imagine it's a one off extract, not serialising? I hope other papers do the same- I don't want it to look as if it's TOO associated with the DM.

Great to get a sneaky peek though!

“Personally, I don't want to live in a world where little boys playing with dolls and little girls who don't like wearing pink are subjected to lifelong medical intervention because lunatics think these kids are in the wrong body. If that's the right side of history, then history can go fk itself.”

and

“I had another meeting around the supposed problem of my defending women and girls, in which, as always, no one could locate the flaw in my analysis as I explained over and over again: 'Children are being hurt. Women are losing their sports, their language, their privacy.'”

New pic of Glinner on Twitter/X surrounded by piles of books, saying he's about to start signing 3,500 of them!

Looks as if everybody who ordered direct from publisher will have a signed copy...

500 a day for the next week, easy peasy (!)

Let’s hope he’s using a Sharpie, much smoother on the hand!

His hand will resemble the withered claw of Billy Bragg....

NoWordForFluffy · 29/09/2023 15:39

I imagine his hand will resemble a claw by the end! 🙈🤣

Vegemiteandhoneyontoast · 29/09/2023 15:23

@Maaate that went through my mind too.

Maaate · 29/09/2023 15:10

Do you think Glinner is regretting his offer to sign the books now 🤣

ETA, it would be interesting to compare his signature from the first copy to the last!

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, same here.

Same here although they definitely wrote on Twitter that it would be signed if ordered directly with Eye Publishers x

Graham talking about his book (and other things)

Thank you for this link, Vaishnavi Sundar is so interesting, off to find her film “Dysphoric” now!

AnneVeronica · 29/09/2023 06:11

Has anyone suggested MNHQ get Glinner on for a webcam about his book?

rhywlodes · 28/09/2023 14:30

I don't work for Eye Books! In a similar field though so can make an educated guess at the timelines/processes.

rhywlodes · 28/09/2023 14:26

The book is at the printers at the moment, so I'm guessing they will be delivered to the publishers mid/late next week, where Graham will spend a couple of days (?) signing them.
Then all pre-orders will be put in the post on Monday the 9th, maybe Tuesday 10th if they can't get them all out in 1 day. Depending what postage option they use, we should get them on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Eye Books are also an Amazon seller (ie you buy through Amazon but they fulfill the order), so they might be fulfilling those orders too.
