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.

Mine was #6730, ordered this morning. Very much looking forward to this treat. Sunlight and guffaws, what could be better?

To those asking, Simon Edge said on twitter that any books ordered direct from the publishers will be signed.
I've just ordered from Eye Books, it didn't mentioned being signed, but I am hoping. Possibly will not be able to sign them all if thousands of people buy!??

I promise you that how ever many get bought direct from the publisher Glinner will sign. He'll see every copy sold as support to him personally, and given how much he's been through I believe that he really appreciates every last drop of support he gets. He will sign every last one no matter how many there are because he's an honourable man and grateful. In John Boyne's apology to Glinner, and in Glinner's own apology to Justice Dankula, Glinner behaved like a throughly decent person.
If you want to support him just a touch more consider subscribing to his substack, I think it's £30/year unless it's gone up.

Just ordered too can’t wait I hope it goes to number one! That man’s has been through hell for standing up for women and girls!

The advertising for this book on X has been fantastic today. They're especially cross that so many on this thread are buying it. Streisand effect is glorious when you see it in action.

Ordered from the publisher - happy to support both them and Glinner by paying full price.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 14/09/2023 19:11

They're such fuckwits. They've failed to notice that their fascist oppressive tendencies have been noticed by the population who are cheerfully responding by purchasing every single artist who they try to bully. This will rebound on transactivists big time and it won't be pretty.

Pre ordered from Eye books, it's brilliant that Simon Edge will benefit too. I bet no other publisher would touch it. Really pleased for Graham, I bet the pre orders are massive, most hard backs hardly sell any copies.

Hermittrismegistus · 14/09/2023 19:08

Oh ffs, misread the post and can't edit on the app. Ignore.

I've just preordered from Eye books and there was no postal charge IcakethereforeIam

Can confirm, no postal charges if direct from Eye Books

porridgecake · 14/09/2023 19:03

I have ordered from the publisher and had a lovely email thanking me for my support.

CorruptedCauldron · 14/09/2023 19:03

The postage is free from the publisher. So there’s no real benefit from using Amazon.

Streisand Effect strikes again as looking at the comments on that article, loads of readers will be buying the book!

I'm thinking of buying direct from the publisher but it doesn't say that it will be signed. Is that announced elsewhere?

It was on Twitter from the publisher and he posted a link

IcakethereforeIam · 14/09/2023 19:00

Just preordered from the publisher 😁 My birthday's in early October, so it's a late and early present to myself. If it's signed, awesome, if it isn't, it's no big deal.

Very much enjoying Willoughby's rage on the RA quote, which comes with a helpful round up of other celebrities who have been brave enough to speak for sense and science

IW tells the story on X how a friend went to a dinner party and reported back that people talked about men in womens sports. Therefore IW concluded that this is middle class prejudice against transwomen.

But of course, IW has blocked half the world on twitter and does not allow replies to xeets so IW is blissfully unaware that everyone is talking about this now.

katmarie · 14/09/2023 18:48

Does anyone else see this when viewing the tweet on X? 'Potentially sensitive content'?! It's a picture of the book cover...

i think he does write very well, I'll be ordering it too

Waitwhat23 · 14/09/2023 18:37

And yes, I'll be preordering this book!

James Acaster came across as a rude, arrogant prick on Taskmaster. Was prepared to consider it a comedy persona, then saw his spiel on Ricky Gervais and upgraded him to rude, arrogant, self-righteous prick.

Another RSOH 'thinker' who doesn't actually think because he's on the RSOH, therefore doesn't need to.

Show quote history

I watched that series of Taskmaster and absolutely hated it because of Acaster. Even if it was his 'persona', he was so rude to Alex and every time he came onscreen, it set my teeth on edge.

Also, touch grass.

I fear they may be seething and coping too much to touch grass.

Merrilydancing · 14/09/2023 18:06

Never bought a book on pre-order very excited to get this as I do like his writing style. And his support for women.

Cosmosforbreakfast · 14/09/2023 17:49

Yes Graham made his choices, he chose to stand up for women, for women's rights and for the protection of our children. I appreciate what he's done and the sacrifices he's made.
