Graham Linehan’s Book

[PretzelKnot]

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.

I haven’t RTFT so sorry if this has already been mentioned but
I ordered this book in mid-September from Amazon for delivery on 12-13 October and there’s no sign of it, not despatched yet.
It is listed as ‘not currently available’.

Is this Amazon messing up their supplies, or cancelling his book?

Hmm. I ordered from Eye Books , 17th September and and it ' has been processed '.
If it is unavailable perhaps Amazon under ordered supplies?

I saw mention of another print run needing to be done, so maybe that's causing the delay?

I see it is also currently unavailable at book supplier in Limerick but you can pre order. Demand is exceeding supply perhaps.

I picked mine up on Thursday from my local independent bookshop, having put the order in a week previously.

I also pre-ordered mine a month ago from Amazon, but haven’t had it yet.

Checked my account and it says “arriving 17-18th”

It's on offer for £29.99 on my Amazon account.
What's that about? Used to be less than £20?

Isn't that just someone trying to re-sell on at a profit from Amazon? It doesn't look loke an official 'Amazon' price.

Yup, RRP £19.99.

Waterstones are selling it for £16.99

You have to hunt for it though, it was hidden in a corner on the lowest shelf in my branch despite being a bestseller!

A line keeps going through my mind. It's where he describes the smell of the men's toilet in a pub and says that every time the door opened and closed the smell 'was like an old lion coughing in your face'. That's disgustingly brilliant.

I’ve cancelled my Amazon order and ordered from Waterstones.
Which 2 newspapers are serialising it?

They did exactly the same with Julie Bindel and Helen Joyce's books, despite there being a table in front of it labelled 'Feminism and Gender Studies' which was covered in books about transgender issues and standing-up-like-a-man copies of Shon Faye's book.

Mail and Telegraph, I think? Don't hold me to that though.

I actually found it in my local bookshop!
So surprised and pleased.

After Amazon failed to deliver (their own kind of censorship??) I ordered direct from the publisher’s on 15th and a signed copy arrived yesterday. Thanks for the tip.
For those wondering if they’re genuine signatures, yes, definitely. The publisher guy said that Graham spent 2 full days signing books in their office!

My copy ordered from Amazon was supposed to be here today but the status has now changed to say they'll email me when available.

I've just had another delay email from Amazon. They're having supply issues. No delivery date offered. I think I too will get in touch with the publisher.

I've had an email from Amazon this morning to say mine has been dispatched .. fingers crossed!

Amazon have come up with the goods 😊

Mine still not despatched from Amazon.

Mine arrived from Amazon today. I had a voucher to use but will order from the publishers in future. Everyone is getting one as a Christmas present.

We pre-ordered weeks before pub date and still haven't had it from Amazon. Assuming it's gone into reprint already which is good news for sales.

Snarky little item in today's Popbitch. Someone briefing against Glinner?
