Blimey! Just received an email announcing 'Fairport by Fairport' book will be available in November.

fairportconventionbook.com

I thought this one had bitten the dust, I registered interest so long ago.

I seem to remember somewhat categorically [Eh?  Ed.] stating that this would never appear.

I'm off to eat my Cropredy '89 cap and scramble around behind the sofa for cash.

Good news!  Thanks for posting.

A bit steep shipping cost for getting it across the North Sea, but what the heck...
Ordered and paid for!  Grin

Indeed! Amazon.uk sends books across for a whole lot less. But I bit the bullit and ordered as well. I wondered how long it will take before the announced 2000 copies will sell out. I did not want to wait for it to happen...

A nice thing to look forward to!

What Staffan said + it's £40 shipping to Norway, cos we ain't an EU country (which I'm pretty pleased about in any other way). AND a 25 % additional tax. I'll have to sell my entire family for it. But so what - ordered! Can't wait for it...    Grin

Hang on! Hang on! I broke the news and now you lot have gone out and ordered all the first editions! I can't spend anything on myself after this weekend (according to Mrs. Gouty) until our 'double-dip' overdraft has had some 'quantitative easing'... save one for me!

Speaking of this weekend, I'm leaving at 6am - why am I still up?

Goodnight y'all.  Wink

Have just seen the email...Well that's a nice surprise!...Had completely forgotten about this!

Copy now pre-ordered and paid for!

Feels a bit self indulgent really!... but I am on holiday this week, and have been quite frugal so far!... Undecided

Off to Cropredy Friday, so will just have to resist the temptation of the CD Stall!... Roll Eyes
