As part of celebrating Bookshop Day, Bert’s is donating £100 worth of books to 12 schools across Swindon.
Literacy levels in Swindon have fallen behind the national average, so we’re making a commitment to do this every year – but it will take us seven years to make sure every school benefits.

Still no payment from my ex-publisher, so I'm selling a few more of these (all purchased from their warehouse). The offer I'm doing is ALL FOUR of these, signed, for the price of the 1983 hardback (£16.99) plus postage.
Please email me at hello@tom-cox.com with your address if you want to nab them.
